Summary
The Beaver Island Irish American Hall of Fame’s 2024 class was announced for induction during the Emerald Isle Irish Féile on 7 September. The announcement names Patrick Bonner, Cynthia Gillespie Cushman, Glenn Hendrix, Daniel Archie LaFreniere, Rodney Nackerman, and Loretta Slater, and identifies Robert Cole and Brother Jim Boynton as scheduled hosts.1
Evidence limits
The detailed list is a pre-event announcement. A later festival retrospective confirms the Féile occurred, but it does not independently document every aspect of the induction. This record therefore treats the ceremony and individual honors as probable rather than converting the advance program into a final official register.2
Open questions
- Is there an official Hall of Fame roster, program, recording, or photograph that verifies the final 2024 induction and its biographical claims?
