"Lawless Years: The Tony Chebatoris and Jack Gracey Story" at 7 p.m. Monday, April 28, at Bay Township Hall, 05045 Boyne City-Charlevoix Road in Horton Bay. Historian Jack Hobey tells the story of Two Detroit/Hamtramck area gangsters who stage a sensational bank robbery attempt in Midland on Sept. 29, 1937. A bystander from Bay City dies and vigilante justice claims one of the gangsters. A hurried trial and the only governmental execution in Michigan's history claim the second. "Lawless Years" is an engaging look at this forgotten chapter of Michigan history. Jack Hobey, also author of "Lost Boys - The Beulah Home Tragedy" and "Wish you were here...The Edward Beebe Story," is a University of Michigan and Harvard Business School graduate. In his retirement, he lives with his wife Vicki in Boyne City and continues to research and write Northern Michigan history. This program is free and open to the public.
