Big yacht coming out of Grand Cayman. In the book, I modeled Cortada’s boat and helicopter from this craft.

Old picture of Fiborn Quarry operation in the '20s. The crusher cement base and the end of the tool and shop buildings are the major structures still remaining.

Grandma McGillviray at her cabin—Garnet, Michigan, 1968. A rainy November for deer hunting. One of my favorite pictures.

The big door of the shop building. It could take "Buckeye" the big steam shovel used to mine the limestone. You really could put a cabin in there!

In the shop building with Aubrey Golden of the Michigan Karst Conservancy, owners of the Fiborn Quarry property. We walked all the way around the quarry, at times in a blizzard, listening for a plane to crash. Note, 64 years after the first picture and I’m still holding a rifle and smiling...Life is good.
