OCGS will hold it's next meeting on April 7, 2009. The topic “Bottom of the Lake” will be presented Irv Rabideau. The presentation describes various research techniques and resources used to trace the crew of a sunken Great Lakes ship. The Lakes provided a livelihood to men and boys from Michigan and
other areas, but many a family lost loved ones on those sometimes-treacherous waters, some never to be found.
