It has inspired introspection and appreciation that has motivated Grosse Pointe Lifestyle. Living in Grosse Pointe has been wonderful for my family. This Community has given us so much. Friends, family, memories, and a unique angle to live every day. We wanted to give something back and with the inspiration of honoring my parents, Tom and Fina Mattaliano, Grosse Pointe Lifestyle was the vehicle to serve this community. Their sacrifices and love live on with the daily heartbeat of our family. Speaking of light, none is brighter than my Editor, Paige Peabody. Is there anyone in Grosse Pointe that doesn’t know Paige! I can’t say enough about the energy and motivation she provides. Paige loves this community dearly and we are blessed to have someone like her in our Grosse Pointe Lifestyle family. I hope your summer is filled with much beauty and splendor. As your out and about enjoying Grosse Pointe, take a few moments to let the sun sink in and light up your mind to the inspirations in your life. It is amazing how much magnificence there is

A DENTIST'S CAUSE

Grosse Pointe Lifestyle | July 2021

WHEN NOT AT HIS OFFICE, DR. HORACIO FALCON TRAVELS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ONCE A YEAR WITH 3 OTHER DENTISTS AND 20 OR MORE STUDENTS. They are in the Republic for about 4-5 days and treat approximately 200-300 patients. A few years back, he remembers a 6-year old that was in a great deal of pain and couldn't sleep. Dr. Falcon found a bump on the back of the boy's head and immediately sent him to the nearest hospital. The doctors found an abscess between the tissue and the skull. A few days later, the boy's grandmother approached Dr. Falcon and hugged him for saving her grandson's life. Dr. Falcon enjoys giving back since he feels fortunate to have the opportunity to do what he does. He also enjoys teaching his students about the disparities around the globe. He finds that these mission trips open the eyes of his students and allows them extensive surgical experience. Dr. Falcon has started a scholarship program through the University of Detroit, where he attended dental school, for those less fortunate. "It is fun when you can create opportunities for people,” Dr. Falco said in our interview. Dr. Falcon lives in Grosse Pointe with his wife, Christina, and 8, 4, and 7-month-old children. Falcon Dental Group is located at 20690 Vernier Road, Harper Woods, MI 48225, 313.884.3050, www.falcondentalgroup.com

THE HOTEL IROQUOIS (MACKINAC SERIES, PART 2)

IN 2019, TRAVEL + LEISURE NAMED THE HOTEL IROQUOIS ONE OF THE TOP 5 RESORT HOTELS IN THE MIDWEST. Families who owned and loved the Hotel Iroquois preserved its history for 117-years. The McIntire family built the intimate boutique hotel into an authentic part of the Mackinac experience for many of those past years. Initially, the structure was a house built in 1902 by the Benjamins, blacksmiths on the island. When the Pooles purchased it in 1904, they used the original foundation to construct a hotel. Fifty years later, they sold the hotel to the McIntires – and that’s where the story begins. Alicia Poole and Margaret McIntire (the matriarch of the McIntire family, now 95-years-old and still active in the business) knew each other, and their relationship grew during visits to the hotel. When the Poole's decided to sell, they intended to "hand it down" to another family who loved it as much as they did. The McIntire's were their first choice.

CityLifestyle.com/GrossePointe

SUMMER ESCAPE (CONTINUED)

As Margaret McIntire prepares to retire, history repeats itself as the Iroquois is "handed down" to another family who will honor its traditions. Jon Cotton, a Grosse Pointe resident who stayed frequently at the hotel, purchased the Iroquois in 2020. Jon, 38, was president and chief operating officer of the state's largest Medicaid provider, Meridian Health, which sold in 2018. "I am committed to honoring the stewardship and legacy that Sam and Margaret McIntire gave to this hotel for the last 66 years," Jon said in a Free Press article. Margaret McIntire's grandson, Sam Barnwell, the hotel's general manager, said, "It was the perfect time for my family to pass along ownership of the Iroquois to another family. We've wondered about leaving this treasure to a new owner who would treat it well. When Jon Cotton spoke up, we knew we found that person." The McIntire's expanded the Iroquois by consistently putting their profits back into the hotel, and Jon is poised to do the same. Sam explained, “My family grew the hotel from 14 bedrooms to 45 bedrooms and suites and added the Carriage House Restaurant. My grandmother put quality and attention to detail into the Iroquois that made lasting memories for guests. With Jon’s stewardship, the hotel is investing in improvements we haven’t been able to do before. The first plan is to extend the waterfront into the lake about 140-feet by building a dock.” Hotel Iroquois embodies the romance that people come to find on Mackinac Island. The 130-feet of frontage on Lake Huron lures our guests to take lunch or dinner al fresco along the shore. The outdoor eating space is as large as the indoor space. Views from inside the glassed Carriage House Restaurant is

ingredients, like lake trout and Michigan whitefish. One of the favorite Carriage House meals island-wide is the center-cut filet mignon. Dinner is accompanied by live piano music every evening. Recognized as the island for the making and eating of delectable fudge, the Iroquois makes homemade fudge sauce to top ice cream and cakes for dessert. A stay at the Hotel Iroquois includes a complimentary breakfast that’s not easy to forget. Homemade lemon blueberry muffins and pastries are among the delights served each morning. "During the covid quarantine, places on the island were still open, including the Hotel Iroquois,” Sam said. “We made it through the year with no covid cases in our staff. We’ve also maintained all of our staff during the transition; they play a large part in what makes our service award-winning." According to Sam, this summer is booking up fast, and scheduling has begun for the 2022 season. One of Sam’s tips is that the best time to visit the Iroquois is late August and September to enjoy the stunning autumn colors. Part of the enchantment of the island is that cars are not allowed in this four-square-mile space. The best way to explore the island is by walking, bicycling, or riding in horse-drawn carriages. The concierge at the hotel Iroquois can arrange horseback riding, private carriage tours, and other activities. Another uniqueness that many people don’t realize is that 82% of Mackinac Island is a state park, and it’s the first state park in the U.S. Exploring the hiking trails is an exciting way to see all of the island and experience new adventures. Forty-five rooms await you, each different from the other, where you can view the lake and surroundings or take a walk into the hustle and bustle of Main Street attractions and shopping. If you haven’t been to the Hotel Iroquois, it's a step into the past and breathtakingly romantic. Hotel Iroquois, 7485 Main Street Mackinac Island, Michigan 49757, 906.847.3321, iroquoishotel.com

Stahls Automotive Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded by Ted in 2005 to preserve, restore and exhibit specific vintage vehicles of the 20th century for educational purposes, and to also give back to the community in a meaningful way. Over the years, this foundation has raised incredible amounts of money for veterans, an autism awareness organization, and other various charities. “The Stahls Automotive Foundation honors veterans and their service annually with an open house at the Stahls’ Automotive Museum,” says Sarah, who is involved with many of its fundraising events. “It also raises support, awareness, and funds for Michigan’s Disabled American Veterans and Guardian Angel Medical Service Dogs, which trains medical service dogs for veterans in need.”
