TELESCOPE Page 58 MEMBERSHIP NOTES @ As most of you know, Mr. Robert Lee underwent another operation for cancer in February. We are happy to report that he is recovering remarkably well and we look forward to seeing him along the waterfront soon. The exhibition of paintings by long-time Institute member Bill Moss, has now been installed in the Special Exhibit Room of the Museum. This excellent exhibition of paintings of subjects from the halcyon days of the passenger ship, was originally scheduled for installation in January, but another show was given priority and the Moss exhibit was set back to April 1, 1981. We are sure you will want to see this show because it is exceptional. MEETING NOTICES © This month's entertainment meeting will be the member's slides of ships on the Detroit River.
