Dear Bob,

Yes, I remember the Erickson's, I believe her Dad is Robert Erickson. He was my husband's foreman. I don't remember if he was part owner with the Doucette's or not. Howell Gear was sold to Teledyne Corporation.

I moved away from MI in 1976 to CA, but have ex in-laws in Munising, MI.

I vaguely remember Shawn and the other children. I was 18-26 & they were teenagers in the late 60's early 1970's. Howell Gear was very family oriented and they had nice picnics & parties. They always closed for 2 weeks during Xmas & we, and others, would go to Munising for the Holidays.

Thanks,
Marilyn
