These tapes, and their transcriptions, are still part of the OHS archives and While it’s hard to summarize what the OHS has meant to the Omena community have been an important source of information over the years. over the past 25, and really 40, years, its accomplishments fall into three major categories. Dr. John (Jack) Kemble did the first tape recording of his own recollections in 1978. Following that, many other interviews were done in the late 1970’s through the 1990’s, and some interviewing continues even into the present day. Archiving the In 1978, over forty years ago, the idea of forming an historical society History of Omena was initiated at a meeting held at Fred Ed Oberndorf’s vision of capturing Gorham’s cottage. and saving the memories and history of Omena have been greatly realized now Attending the meeting were Ed after 40 years of collecting documents, Obderndorf, Jack Kemble, Mary pictures and memorabilia from residents, Helen Ray, and Vernon Keye. both year-round and seasonal.

Marcia says that family treks through the natural area invariably led her children to compare Kehl Lake’s surroundings “to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth.” “The ferns, the cedars, the cool, moist smell, the rotting logs with moss all over them – there was so much for the kids to see! And, the trail was just about the right length for them,” she adds. Their children are now grown, but everyone in the family still spends as much time in the summer as possible in Northport. Marcia and Karl, who are still working and living in Novi, own some rental properties in the area as well as a beautiful bluff lot north of Peterson Park. They plan to one day build a home there.
