For those of us who are fortunate enough to call Klinger Lake home, or people who are only able to spend a few weekends or weeks here each year, it seems like we’re always making memories. For decades, Dick Magee, an accomplished storyteller, has contributed articles to the Sturgis Journal and Shoreline Magazine that capture these tales of the lake and the area. Thanks to Dick, there’s a new collection of these stories in book form. It will make a wonderful addition to any Klinger Lake residence and is an ideal gift for anyone who has their own memories of this beautiful place. The selected articles will not only help the reader relive the past, but will likely cause some to remark ‘I never knew that!’. The spiral bound book, which contains 338 pages and includes over 60 photos, is available for $25 per copy (local pickup) or $30 (shipped).
