Summary
Connie Wogan is named in December 1974 as one of the donors who pledged $4,000 to assist construction of the emergency-aircraft hangar at Beaver Island airport. This is the same $4,000 lottery-winnings gift that a February 1975 Beacon follow-up credits to “Ed and Connie Wojan” — the identical donation reported under both spellings three months apart. The fuller biography is kept at Constance "Connie" Wojan, which identifies her as Constance (Adams) Wojan, wife of Edward Bruce Wojan.
Evidence and limits
This is an episode-qualified record on its own; the identity bridge to Connie Wojan rests on the matching donation amount, the matching donor pair (Ed and Connie), and the three-month gap between the two spellings of the same story, rather than an explicit statement in either issue that they are the same gift. No source states the individual split of the pledge between Connie and Ed Wogan/Wojan.
