Indifference which the idea of forming
the yacht and boat club met; with,
when first; conceived d. n was nv: HIS.
Foster and Herman Huesgen, j., that
first thought Of the plan. They were
real enthusiasts and believed \ that
others could be interested, but were
told by many that it was impossible.
The first ten members were hard to
get, but in three months the hundred
mark was reached. The impossible
became realization. The idea of
having more, than one sailboat on the
water could hardly be imagined, but
there are seven sailboats today, and
they are all dandies. Messrs. Foster
and Huesgen are deserving Of much
credit in building up such a strong
organization. One can not help but
think what real joy there is in store
for Herman Huesgen, Sr., when he re-
turns from Germany after a summers
sojourn to find real yacht club, for
he has always dotted on yachting and
was one of the first to put sailboat
lon Devils Lake many years ago. That
sailing runs in the Huesgen family is
putting it mildly. s- ., MI
