Beaver Island Michigan

And we're going to have a party! Come join us at Stoney Acres on Saturday, November 15th from 3-5 p.m. to celebrate Lawrence's 100th birthday. Toasts and roasts accepted. Beer-wine-soft drinks-appetizers and music by Danny Gillespie and crew. All welcome-see you there!

Words of wisdom from Lawrence: "100 years of life on the island was a long time in the making". He offered to share his secret of longevity at his 100th birthday party but his disclaimer is, "It may not work for everyone." Lawrence and his family hope to see you there!

Does anyone know if Lawrence will appear on the Today show's Smucker's Jar for centarians? If so, what time and day?

What a great idea for a great guy.

We have submitted a request with all the information to Willard Scott's Centenarian Smucker's Birthday tribute months ago. They will not announce whether he will be awarded the spot. We'll let you know-if we hear anything.

Thanks.

pam,your dad was wondering if anyone else had turned 100 on beaver island.....any one know?

Kitty Gallagher was born on Arranmore in 1802. She came to the Island in 1866 and died here in 1905 at the age of 103. She was the mother of Big Owen, Big Neil and Big Dominic.

Lawrence's cousin. Allie McDonough died in 2010 just before his 106th birthday. Although Allie had not lived on the Island in many years, he was born here.

That's all I can think of off hand.

thanks marie !
