Summary
The Beaver Island Forum announced a September 2, 2012 memorial at Whiskey Point Lighthouse marking thirty years since the drowning deaths of John Paul, Kenneth David, and Dennis Michael Kenwabikise. The announcement also planned a plaque unveiling at Beaver Island Community School.
Evidence limits
The thread establishes the community’s announced memorial plan and date. It does not contain a post-event report, attendance record, or documentation that the plaque was installed, so the occurrence is recorded as probable rather than established.

- A community announcement scheduled a September 2 memorial at Whiskey Point Lighthouse, followed by a plaque unveiling at Beaver Island Community School, for the 30th anniversary of the drowning deaths of John Paul, Kenneth David, and Dennis Michael Kenwabikise. Later reminders confirm the planned date; the archived thread does not contain a post-event report, attendance record, or plaque documentation.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 05 · t005332
- The Chamber of Commerce pointed readers to a Friends of Beaver Island Facebook photo and story about the September 2 service. This is a secondary post-event pointer rather than the service report itself; it raises confidence that the memorial occurred but does not document attendance or plaque installation.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 05 · t005448
