We had made it as far as Lansing, Mich., by air and now needed to travel by car to Sault Ste. Marie, where the old “Tobermory II,” now named “Clyde D. Neville,” was docked. The trip would take us to the very tip of Upper Michigan right on the border of Canada.

“One Woman’s Opinion” served as a special feature of the Southside Sentinel for four decades, written by the late Urbanna resident Mary Wakefield Buxton. Traditionally a humorist, Mary has written a column on all subjects and sometimes in very serious vein. Along with writing a column for the Sentinel, she is also author of 15 books about life and love in Tidewater, Virginia.
