Hello Bob,
My Grandfather is Charles Dedic, He lives in Michigan. I'm not a Dedic myself, I have my father's name. But my mom's side of the family are Dedic's. We live in Wisconsin, but most of the rest of the Dedic's are from Michigan. You should really get in touch with my Grandpa, he has 2 books out on our backround and the area. He is currently working on his 3rd. Why don't you email me back and I can give you more details if you are interested.
