Brendan Williams served in Europe during World War II, and was awarded the Purple Heart after a bullet went through his arm, just before the Battle of the Bulge.I remember asking him many times to show me the scars!
Brendan was a mail man in Escanaba. He might have been the last French fur trapper in the upper peninsula of Michigan too. Mostly muskrats. He attached an Chevy Corvair engine with propellor to a small boat, and navigated Escanaba's Bay de Noc. For a while he raised nightcrawlers for local fishermen.
