Born in Benzie County, Alfred left home at the age of  14 and came to the Good Harbor area.  A jack of all trades, Alfred at various times ran the former D.H. Day Farm, built the Wayside Dairy Freeze, operated Shalda’s Store, and did a variety of work at Leelanau and Glen Lake Schools.  His large vegetable garden was always a show-piece.   Seen here with Patches.  “Wherever Alfred went, Patches went.”
