Hank Keller
Our own SPS Member and Educational Officer, Hank did a presentation on
the “10 Common Mistakes Boaters Make”.
Richard Prestholdt
Few people think about the fact that the Lewis and
Clark Expedition was mostly a water expedition. Their
Mission was to follow the Missouri to it's source and
connect with
the river of the West, the Columbia. They
actually used a
total of 25 different water vessels while
covering their
9,046 river miles.
Richard Prestholdt joined
the Discovery Expedition
of St.
Charles Missouri and participated in their 4 year, real
time (200
years later) re-enactment of the original Lewis and Clark Expedition. His
presentation will
focus on the boats used. Each one was reproduced by one of the
several living
history groups across the country that participated in the
Commemoration. You'll
enjoy seeing photos of all of them and how they were used.
As a member of the crew, Richard spend over 40 weeks
on the river with the
Corps and has a unique perspective to show and tell
us about. A resident of
Bridgewater and a life long
photographer he has presented several Lewis and Clark
programs over
the years.
Bob Hofmann
Our own SPS Member and teacher of Celestial Navigation to our members,
Bob gave us a in-depth overview of the GPS Navigation
system, and the history of the development of what makes it work.
