Stories FROM Scowtown is a collection of short stories about our life on our floating home and the community of personalities who lived there. Our little enclave of floating homes attracted an assortment of folks, from artists to athletes to teachers and retirees. The homes were a collection of sweet little cottages dotted with flower baskets to sleek contemporary homes with mirrored walls and white furniture. Others chose a more casual approach with their home, constructing it with anything that floated by. So pour yourself a glass of iced tea, sit back in your lounge chair, and enjoy the stories. Then close your eyes and dream with the setting sun on your face.
Charles "Gus" Dorais (1891-1954) was the quarterback of Notre Dame's "Dorais to Rockne" tandem that revolutionized football's forward pass. A triple threat prep star from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Dorais was a captain and undefeated four-year starter at Notre Dame, and the school's first consensus All-American in 1913. Over the next four decades, Dorais was a professional player in the pre-NFL days and a college football coach--notably at the University of Detroit--and then head coach of the Detroit Lions. During his career, he tallied more than 150 wins. A pioneer of offensive strategies, Dorais played with and coached against most of the prominent football legends of his time.
