Thanks for sending the information about Silver Beach amusement park near
Benton Harbor. It's not shown on my map, but there is a Silver Beach on
Mullett Lake near Sheboygan. I guess that's not the place, since you clearly
said it was on the Lake Michigan shore near Benton Harbor. I will try to
locate someone in Benton Harbor who would know something about Silver Beach.
Maybe the Library, a historical society or the Chamber of Commerce. It would
be nice to be able to trace the provenance of my North Tonawanda.
From what you said it sounds like the place really went bad. I've never been
there but of course remember the name from the Heathkit days. I still have
one of the first Heathkits I ever built back in the early 50's.
I have heard nothing about the Silver Beach on Long Island, which was my
first guess because the organ had belonged to a guy on Long Island.
