Fisher F* A* Bean March 25th 1 9 k 2,1 V Enclosed is a proof of a plan for our fishing trip to officially dedicate the New Charles L* Sommers Wilderness Canoe Base immediately followinq the National Annual Meeting* We are told that a special bus from St. Paul to the Base would cost #110 but that special buses say be taboo by May. Private cars in sufficient number can probably be found. The Regional Staff has three cars, for example no doubt enough space could be arranged ror all who could GO* On Plan One, travel from Duluth to the Canoe Base might be arranged by Duluth Scooters for the group likely to take this extra side trip. It may still be possible to charter a bus pro-rating the cost if we can recruit AS MANY AS TWENTY OR THIRTY TO MAKE THE TRIP* Will you please study this plan and write your suggestions?
