November 23, 2024 at 9:06 amI usually seen Mike up at the station north of town and I would ask him how everyone was doing. And one time just a few years ago he said you all had a family reunion and Angela said that was the last time they wanted to do that, there were so many there. I know that would have been a lot of cooking. Chris Woods

December 5, 2024 at 7:40 pmNancy, I remember your dad being at Bartle Scout Reservation, where I’ve served on staff for many years. I’m sorry for your loss. By the way, the Micosay record shows his tribal responsibility was Sagamore. (Brave 1953, Warrior 1954, Sachem 1978, Keeper of the Wampum 1987, Sagamore 1997)
