My wish list - for the site:  



. Top Priorty

  • with portable scanner unit - so I can do traveling research work for the site.


Help for sight:
  • $'s for personal subscriptions to footenote com; history Ancestry & genealogical databases
  • $'s for GoDaddy website and domain fee's-
  • A research grant -
Would be nice for my research library - someone else trash, discards:
  • Lake Directories - 1953/4 to 1984 (have 1985,1986, 1987); 1988-1990, (have 1991), 1992, (have 1993 & scanned), 1994-2004 (have 2005-7). I will make a cd of all to donate to the Culver-Union Public Library and the Marshall County Historical Society, Lake Maxinkuckee Lake Assoc. (would be a nice fund raiser for them to sell; ie genealogy & historical ads) -IF I CAN GET THEM ALL. I think they will all fit on one CD if not 2.
  • Culver Telephone Directories, especially ?1920-40's? - 1950's 1960's, 1971, 1974, 1990-1999, 2000- present - any will be accepted! If they exist
  • Old back issues of Culver Citizens 1970's, 1980's, 1990's ( I heard that Pilot News threw all the donated bound copies of the citizen into dumpster when they moved out of the downtown office.
  • Old brochures bulletins on and about Culver
  • Use of a paper copy of Cottage and/or property abstracts still in existence, even a scanned copy onto a cd or I can scan.
  • Photos of the Old cottages - especially those which have been torn down with location/address
  • Photos of cottages today


Other
  • A boat ride in spring/fall when trees are not fully leafed out & summer to capture the lakeshore and cottages from lakeside.
  • Tons of ink and paper make a paper copy of the site
  • My hidden pot of gold I have not been able to find - its still MISSING 32 years later!
  • Bookshleves - have picked out Hickory floating by a wild dream - (everything is still boxed up from moving back into town.
  • A miracle - maybe winning publishers clearing house!?!?!?!?!? finding the hidden pot of gold?


There has never been any monetary compensation derived only praise and donation of some material, clues and all have been appreciated.

This has been a labor of love since I first started it in 1990 by pencil paper and word filesz. It has grown beyond my wildest dreams but as I researched and found more history confirmed or de-bunked the stories of culver the fascination as grown into an obsession and I have personally learned a lot I never knew about Culver.

I can use any help right now to keep on going and keeping this site up - I have tried to give it my all since 2004 - its been my sanity and escape from reality even more so since Nov. 2016

Would appriciate dontations towards - items listed above. Have been using my cell phone researching a bit inconvient but does wotk
