Page 142 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • To state that this Telescope issue is late would be an understatement. The blame lies solely with the editor. In order to bring members up to date for the calendar year 1998, there will be a double issue numbering fifty-six pages for January thru April, a single May-June issue mainly devoted to the building and launching of the Edmund Fitzgerald, another double issue numbering fifty-six pages for July thru October and finally the November-December issue with the lead article marking the 40th Anniversary of the sinking of the Carl D. Bradley in November, 1958. For those members wishing an opportunity climb aboard a Great Lakes freighter during the 1999 sailing season, several lodges of the International Ship Masters' Association will be conducting raffles. Port Huron Lodge #2 will raffle a trip for four adults aboard an Interlake Steamship Company vessel. The ticket drawing is February 27, 1999.The cost is $10.00 per ticket. The Detroit Lodge No. 7 will raffle a trip for six adults aboard Oglebay Norton's str. Courtney Burton. The ticket drawing is February 13,1999. The cost is $10.00 per ticket. The Grand Traverse Lodge #23 will raffle a trip aboard an American Steamship 1,000-foot vessel, a trip aboard Inland Steel's Str. Edward L. Ryerson, a trip aboard the Lake Michigan carferry Badger and finally a trip aboard the Tallship Malabar. The cost is $5.00 per ticket. We hope to have information flyers available at the museum in the future. Those with access to the Internet will probably see the web-sites announcing these raffles.
