Local family, Metroparks team up for Oak Openings corridor project
SWANTON — Big Sandy Campground’s expected ownership transfer this fall has prompted Metroparks Toledo to acquire 113 acres of adjacent land in the Oak Openings corridor for hiking and other light recreation. Alicia Lawson, a Toledo native who co-owns a local family-owned business called Superior Made, told The Blade in an interview Tuesday that she and her husband, fellow Toledo native Nathan Lawson, have an agreement in place to purchase Big Sandy for $1.3 million. Closing is expected in October. Superior Made RV Resort, the campground’s future name, will be owned and operated by the couple and other family members. The two are longtime RV enthusiasts who built and operated Time Away RV Resort in Lincoln, Ala., a few years ago. The Lawsons sold the Alabama property after they made the decision to move back to Toledo.

Toledo man honored posthumously as one of 1st Black Marines
Kyle Baker never imagined he’d one day visit Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. But he did go there — to accept a Congressional Gold Medal for his late father, Jack Baker, a Montford Point Marine from Toledo. Thirty Montford Point Marines — the nation’s first Black Marines — were presented with a replica of a Congressional Gold Medal at Lejeune Memorial Gardens on Friday. According to Mr. Baker, nine surviving members of the Montford Marines were in attendance. “A lot of people never heard of the Montford Marines,” Kyle Baker, of Toledo, said. “Those Marines were neglected. They tried to get them to quit. The Marine Corps did not record all of what the platoon did in war, so not many of them or their families know about the award.”
