Summary

The October issue reports September 1989 Beaver Island weather, including an 80°F high, a 28°F low, and 2.18 inches of rain. The same item notes Bill Welke’s bilateral knee replacement surgery and Mark Welke’s move to Minnesota for aviation-mechanics teaching.

Evidence limits

The weather table is a local newspaper record rather than a calibrated station series; the medical and relocation details are also preserved as reported.
