On Lake Superior.
I grew up and lived in the snow effect belt of Lake Erie during this time, so this tragedy still puts a lump in my throat.
This was the winter our road was snowed/blown shut and we had to be plowed out by the National Guard. The family back hoe was at our house and I was barely able to keep the drive open until my son’s father got home from leaving work early. My son was a responsible two year old. He and the dog stood mesmerized in the living room window, watching me as I plowed. The promise of anything he wanted at McDonalds bought me a lot in those days
Prayers to all of the affected families— I am sure 50 years still seems like “only yesterday”
Fifty Years After It Sank, Science Might Finally Solve the Mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald

A listener at that point can almost feel the resolve... but also the terror.
