It is with deep regret that we report the passing on June 21st, 1977 of member Hal Jackson of Dearborn, Michigan. Hal had not been in the best of health during the last few years but his interest in ships, and particularly in lake tugs, remained undaunted. A member of T.M.H.S. for many years, Hal presented a program on tugs at one of our meetings several years ago. He was a staunch supporter of our Society as well as of other similar organizations around the Great Lakes.

To Hal's family, we extend our most sincere sympathy. The fraternity of marine historians will be much the poorer for his loss and we ourselves shall miss a personal friend.
