Page 86 MEMBERSHIPNOTES • Fr. Edward J. Dowling, S.J., a longtime Institute member and well-known marine historian, has been awarded the American Merchant Marine Museum's 1993 Nathaniel Bowditch Maritime Scholar Award. The award is given to a person who has been judged to have made a major contribution to the field of marine studies. Fr. Dowling is the first scholar of Great Lakes marine history to receive this award. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Thomas Manse, marine historian and publisher for over twenty-five years of Know Your Ships. He died on April 27, 1994 at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Mr. Manse was instrumental in obtaining the Valley Camp and converting her to a museum ship for Le Sault de Ste. Marie Historical Society. Included in this issue is a flyer for ads in Telescope. As another benefit of membership, we would like to give three-linesfree for members to exchange their names, addresses, phone numbers and special interests. This is an easy method to locate those with similar marine interests. Remember to mail your free ad to the post office box, not to Dossin Museum. MEETING NOTICES* The Curator Robert E. Lee Dinner will be held on Friday, September 23, 1994 at the St. Clair Inn. The G.L.M.I. will hold an auction to benefit the Dossin Museum on Friday, November 25, 1994 at Alcamo's in St. Clair Shores. Doors open at 5 p.m. In the next Telescope issue will be an information flyer with directions.
