Summary

The June 1964 Beaver Beacon reported that Edward Wojan of St. James was congratulated at an East Jordan dinner for his essay “My American Heritage.” It also said that he and Ted Weidman of Charlevoix were scheduled to attend a Farm Bureau youth-for-citizenship seminar at Camp Kett in Tustin the following month.

Evidence and limits

The essay recognition is source-bounded, while the seminar remains a planned future activity in this issue. No award file, essay copy, attendance record, or program is held.
