Summary

In June 2017, a team including Amy and Dick Burris, Mark Englesman, Carol Linteau, Frank Solle, and Mike Weede began collecting photographs, locations, stories, and construction details for Dick Burris’s stone and brick work on Beaver Island. The team proposed a website, book, and possible WVBI oral-history material and had begun visiting sites.
