Summary

The September 2011 Beacon profiles Indiana stone carver Tim Doyle, who sailed from Charlevoix in his 25-foot Catalina during his annual August trip and stayed at Beaver Island for a week instead of one day. The article also describes his apprenticeship, major stone projects, and recent seven-foot limestone statue of Christ of Comfort and Healing for a Charleston, South Carolina meditation garden.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper profile and personal account, not an independent catalogue of Doyle’s work or a record of a commissioned Beaver Island project.
