Summary
D. J. Angus wrote that he transferred the yacht Angus to Michigan’s Grand Valley State College in 1964 so the new college could support hydrographic courses. The accompanying article says the transfer papers were signed that week and that the college planned to keep the boat in Spring Lake. Angus also said the previous year was the only one in twenty-five when he had not called at Beaver Island, while expressing hope of returning.
