Page 58 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • If the quality of Miss Pepsi's recent restoration was measured in elbow grease and TLC, our thirty-six foot, triple-step hydroplane would be listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's most beautiful wood boat. That elbow grease and TLC would come from DYC members Penny and Doug Breck, who both possess remarkable talent and skill. After seven months of work, Miss Pepsi is now ready to greet museum visitors and show off her graceful mahogany lines, twin Allison engines and the most beautiful finish on the lakes. This will be the last issue of Telescope typeset on the Compugraphic machine. Many members will remember back to May, 1978 when we switched from the Varityper to the Compugraphic. Because of the advances in computers, especially in the area of laser printers, the GLMI Board voted in February to purchase a desk-top publishing unit with the computer. In the past two years we've had a few problems with the Compugraphic machine (in one issue the letter "k" quit on the keyboard) and rather than spend over $1,000.00 for repairs, the Board voted to buy a computer. When the repairman came to look at the Compugraphic Execuwriter II for the last time, he informed us that the GLMI had the last model in the State of Michigan.

The sidewheeler had seven decks which held 510 staterooms and 24 parlors for passengers traveling between Chicago and Buffalo. In 1942 she was requistioned by the US Navy to serve as a training ship for pilots at the Great Lakes Naval Training Base on Lake Michigan. She was renamed USS Wolverine and remained there until she was decommissioned in 1946 and sold for scrap the next year. □ by Alan Mann 59 Mitchell Weber 64 by Steve Garey 68 71 72 by Don Richards 73 Telescope is produced with assistance from the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, an agency of the Historical Department of the City of Detroit.
