Why a Fudge Store?
When traveling 50 million miles in orbit, Jerry noted that the Great Lakes region was prime earth real estate. He and Kathryn decided that it was a perfect place to raise their family. Jerry runs, bikes, kayaks, or skis into the small town Suttons Bay to sign books in the back of the store. His kids often join him, mainly to eat some of Michelle and Dales' delicious fudge, but also to add their autograph to the books and to help pack them up (newly minted entrepreneurs!).
