This is to notify you of a recent merger that requires Canadian National Railway Company (“CN”) to seek authorization to transfer the above-mentioned permits issued to the St. Clair Tunnel Company (“SCTC”) on March 31, 1st 1995. The SCTC is incorporated under the laws of Michigan and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the 1st Grant Trunk Corporation itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of CN. On September 2008, CN has proceeded to the merger of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Incorporated (“GTW”), which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Corporation, into and with SCTC. Although SCTC has retained its legal personality, the merged corporation has been renamed for marketing purposes “Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company”. This company continues to be organized under the laws of Michigan. In accordance with section 21.2 of the National Energy BoardAcl it will therefore be required that the Board authorizes the transfer of both SCTC’s permits to reflect the name change of this corporation. For your review, you will find enclosed a copy of the certificates of merger issued by the Delaware and Michigan authorities. We also enclose a copy of the decision of the Canadian Transportation Agency that amended CN’s certificate of fitness issued under the Canada Transpo#ationActafter this merger was completed.

    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.
