Benzie County’s formative brilliance

There’s a place in northern Michigan, Benzie County, that captures spirits like none other. One was mine, captured 33 years ago and held tightly ever since. Another’s was Gretchen Carr, who was raised here. Gretchen prepared an episode of her podcast that finds that distinctive Benzie spirit in a natural foods restaurant like none other. Hearing all the voices I know so well. Learning the dimensions of the story she tells. Marvelous stuff. First time I came here in September 1990, as a young man, this county just reached in and held me. All those people you note are dear dear friends. This is just such a memorable production. We’ll done in every way.
