SPECIAL CIVIL SERVICES

Edmund Fitzgerald Service (November 13, 2005 11:00 am.) 

In 1975 The Reverend Richard Ingalls reacted to the sinking of the Great Lakes freighter by praying alone and ringing the church's bell 29 times -- one for each man lost. News and newspapers across the world reported this story, including one read by singer Gordon Lightfoot; he responded by writing the song "The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald." Each year since, Mariners' Church has held a memorial service commemorating the men who were on board.

TV17.org and none-profit show producer Roscoe Clark will tape the service for the family record. The new TV production truck will be used for the taping. Tape copies by request.
