Biography:
Participated 1960-1962, in the Detroit Public Schools vocational ed, model yacht program, building AJ Fisher design boats, in 24", 30", and 36" sizes.
I have been accumulating boats, photos, awards, snapshots, contacts, and the history of this program, that ran for 75 years, 1929-2004. Hope to mount a display at the Dossin Museum on Belle Isle and publish a book on the history of the largest and longest running program in the country. The Belle Isle Model Yacht basin still exists, but hasn't been used, or maintained.
