Laura Crapo aka Laura Borealis

I'm reading about my dad's side of the family from Flint, Michigan. My dad is pictured in the back behind the Hereford. My grandfather is holding the sign. I'm going to go back there in October to attend a ceremony marking the 150 anniversary of Crapo farm. My ancestor was the governor of Michigan. And a grandson of the governor was William Crapo Durant who started GM and ended up managing a bowling alley in Flint. I want to go see if that bowling alley still exists, and get my picture taken at Crapo st in Flint. Michigan is so unique, surrounded by lakes. I'll post some pictures after my trip there.
