Summary
The February 1964 Beaver Beacon reported that Mel Gallagher was found after a fall, taken by station wagon to the airport, and transported by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter to Charlevoix. It also reported Arthur Larsen’s release from an Ann Arbor hospital pending a later check-up and Dick LaFreniere’s healing broken kneecap after a fall.
