traveled so much for his job. So when Maxine wasoffered a better paying job in Dowagiac at anotherfactory they picked up and moved.
Maxine and Raymond had tried for severalyears to start a family but were unsuccessful. ButGod did bless them with a child, Lee, whom theyadopted right after he was born. Maxine said shefinished off the year working at the factory so shecould receive her bonus and then became a stayat home mom for their new baby.
As a family they really enjoyed going camp-ing, and visiting different places in Michigan andattending the Methodist Church. After her hus-band retired they did travel to Florida a few times.They also bought a home near Cadillac on LakeMitchell. She said they really enjoyed the time theyspent there on the lake going both boating andfishing. They enjoyed it so much that they even-tually made their “summer” home into their per-manent home.
Maxine’s family has now grown and she has2 grandchildren Jacob and Sam and 5 Great
Grandchildren. Maxine moved into Rail-
side just over a year ago to becloser to her son Lee. Sincemoving in she has really en-joyed making many newfriends and attending all ofour activities. And she real-ly enjoys not having to cookand clean!
Thank You Maxine forsharing a little bit aboutyour life with all of us hereat Railside.
