The founding of TU Courtesy of Bob McKeon I
wanted to share with SWMTU members this letter. This
is a copy of the original letter of the first recognized
meeting by the
founding members of Trout Unlimited. July 15th
is considered by national as TU Day which was
founded in 1959 in Grayling, Michigan. I have a
collection of some original documents in my possession
that I received a few years ago while serving
as a member of West Michigan Trout
Unlimited. I became friends with Cornelius
Schrems wife, “Sis,” and stayed in touch
with
her until she passed away. Sis created a yearly scholarship
fund through Michigan State University for a recognized
student who is interested in pursuing studies
in fish management and biology, an on-going
program she made available in memory of her
late husband, Cornelius. I hope you find this of
some interest. Note the July date on this for the
gathering of original members.
