From Mark Erlandson via facebook Saugatuck Remembered
"That was in the Veterans Memorial that should have never got taken down with two benches where it is now in Douglas the plaque was on the brick centerpiece and in the center of that we put a time capsule so to speak. I know there was some other stuff in there but I can't remember what. I can ask my brother if he knows. I helped my dad and the bricklayer that laid the bricks and Doug Forrester also helped pouring the benches I believe. Makes me sad they tore it down it was more of a memorial and nice spot to set looking at each other."Cataloged By
