Wanted: Coast Guard Anthem on 78

Post by Dave D »

I donated a Victrola to the Fort Gratiot Light Station, the oldest lighthouse in Michigan. I'd love to get a copy of Semper Paratus for them to play on it, since the Coast Guard operated the light station. The victrola is in the restored lighthouse keeper's quarters.

Anybody got an extra copy to sell?
Thanks!

Dave, I wish I had an extra copy to send you. It is awesome that you've donated a Victrola to the light house and are helping to memorialize the Coast Guard's involvement! Cheers to you!
Sincerely, Richard
