That sinking feeling.... an anniversary

[Chicago Jake]

Thirty-five years ago today, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank to the bottom of Lake Superior.

I posted it under music, since most of us would probably have never heard of it without the Gordon Lightfoot song!

[Ardbeg... innit]

My sister attends the church mentioned in the song. They still do the bell ringing thing each year on the 10th.

I was a Junior here at Michigan Tech, and went with friends to the beach to watch the surf that morning. It was a humbling experience, we only found out later that the Fitz went down.
