Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2022-06-24 16:33:42. Caption as posted: "This story along with others is apart of our Summer of Love Interactive Exhibit at the Mormon Print Shop. Stop in and share your Beaver Island Love Story. ------------------------------------------------------------- Bill and Nadra were engaged on Beaver Island, directly in Lake Michigan. Vietnam was calling his name, and she wanted a proposal. In typical Bill fashion, he threw her into the lake while his parents, Clyde and Thelma watched from the family cottage on Sand Bay, and asked the question. It might not have been the dream proposal Nadra always wanted, but the love and marriage"
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A photograph shows a display panel with two mounted portraits: a black-and-white close-up of a smiling woman and a color portrait of a person wearing a light-colored uniform and holding a dark object. Reflections and overlapping white-bordered photographs are visible, with part of a printed panel at the bottom.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
