John Ester

Treasurer

John is a mostly retired attorney who, with wife Char, has had a place in the Dunes Edge development on Little Platte Lake since 1999.  Char was instrumental in organizing LPLA, and John did the legal work in setting up the corporation and obtaining tax-free charitable status from the IRS.  In addition to serving on the LPLA Board, John has been Treasurer of Dunes Edge Condo Association since its inception.

John and Char sold their place in the Detroit area and moved here full-time a couple of years ago.  Since then John has been able to spend much of his time in a favorite pursuit-- chasing birds.  The gift of a camera last year added a new dimension to looking at birds (and a new obsession!).

John is the President of the Benzie Audubon Club.  He loves the fact that Little Platte Lake is home to bald eagles, loons, and countless other birds and animals.  He wants to keep it that way.
