Welcome to the Eastport Connection blog. The reason I have set this up is because Elwood Jones and I took a trip to Eastport, MI to explore the connection to Peterborough, ON in the letters and journals of Loren Post. I'll be telling you more about this story in the near future, but Loren's birth mother lived in Peterborough in the early 1900s.
I want to invite any of you who read this and have comments to make, to please do so. This is really an effort to share information and to gain more insight into Loren and his mother's, Minnie Griffin, relationship and what it means for us today.
Minnie only found out that her son was actually alive when he contacted her when he was in his twenties.
This is a fascinating story which directly links Peterborough, ON with Eastport, MI.

Thanks for doing this Ruth, it is wonderful to have a present day connection to Peterborough.
