I made contact with the memorial amateur radio station at Whitefish Point this weekend which was set up to commemorate the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We’ve visited the lighthouse and museum many times on vacation to the U.P. – beautiful country. My son in the U.S. Coast Guard, stationed in the 9th district, says the men who sail those big lakers are true professionals.
I grew up in the Thumb area of MI. Now I live near Lake Superior...I always think of that wreck.
