Back in the dizzay our family would drive up to Suttons Bay each summer.  Suttons Bay is just south of Traverse City, I believe.  That is where John and Derek lived.  They are Bill Conrad's kids and Bill is one of my dad's best friends.

I remember one year that we bought these toys from Kmart or something.  They were little hollow, round, squishy balls that had a hole in them so you could use them as squirt guns.  The strange thing was that they were faces of horror movie characters.  I had one of Jason from the "Friday the 13th" series and one of Freddie from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series.  I used to watch those movies a lot as a kid - disturbing huh?  But somehow the squirt guns were good clean fun.

I think that we lost the Freddie toy in Lake Michigan.
