Tom North has lived and worked in Michigan's Straits of Mackinac area for over 40 years, where he served from 1992 to 2007 as Mackinac/Luce Counties probate judge and previously practiced law. His frequent presence on Mackinac Island during those years, including residence on the island in 1977 and 1980, has led to a keen interest in, and knowledge of, its history.
