Re: The Fitz - 40th anniversary
RICK: Yesterday, Nov 9. It was 40 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald loaded out of "some mill in Wisconsin", to begin her ill-fated voyage to destiny. Gord & Mrs. Lightfoot and I made a pilgrimage to Whitefish Point for an informal gathering at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.
A few feet north of the lighthouse is a boardwalk / deck where I spent some private quiet minutes reflecting and gazing out towards the west at this Eastern end of Lake Superior where so many have been lost.
