Page 158 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • On Sunday October 17th, the Annual GLM1 Dinner was held at the St. Clair Inn's River Room. It was a crisp fall day and we enjoyed enlightening and lively entertainment, good food and company and some pretty good freighter watching as well. From our viewpoint, we saw the LEE A. TREGURTHA headed upbound; watched the upbound RESERVE and downbound CANADIAN OLYMPIC pass each other followed by A.J. INGLEHART downbound with the ALGOLAKE rounding out the day. Special thanks to our featured guest Artist and Re-enactor Peter Rindlesbacher for his presentation of "Officer Robert Irvine - the Battle of Lake Erie" and for his signed print donated to the raffle. Peter - we could smell the sulfur! December 28 thru 30 - Dossin Great Lakes Museum is open special days during the holidays from 10:00 to 5:00.
