I found the print too small to read and the site difficult to navigate, but if you put "dr.libby" (no space) into the tiny search window, a few boating references turn up among those huge volumes.
A few days ago, my Dad happened to mention Dr. Libby with respect to floatplanes in the Lakes Region. I learned that Dr. Libby flew a Stinson Gull Wing on floats, and stored it on a ramp on Mirror Lake close to the museum.
Dr. Libby's takeoffs and landings from Mirror Lake would have been spectacular, but those events had long preceded us.
Right?
