Evidence and limits

This notice documents the same man as Daniel G. “Danny” Gillespie, son of Jewell and Rita Gillespie: he sat the Ferris State College entrance examination the month after this club presidency was reported, and graduated from Ferris in 1973. His full biography is gathered at the main record; this notice is kept separate as the source-specific club-office notice it documents.
