Walter and Nina Reddy of East Lansing, Michigan, purchased several lots in the Felker's Lake Shore Development in 1942 by Quit Claim from two colleagues for "one dollar & other good and valuable considerations". Walter subsequently built the first Felker's Subdivision cottage and took an active part in its development. Walter and Nina are Dorothy Otto's parents. Dorothy, with her husband Tom, continues to live in the second Felker's home built by Walter and Nina.
