Dear member,

We have two exciting lectures coming up this May in our historic courtroom:

Tomorrow! PERSEVERANCE: Some Reflections on 50 Years of the Canadian Sea King
May 8, 12 pm
Admission by Donation

A public lecture on the remarkable record of the Canadian Sea King helicopter will be presented by Colonel (Ret’d) John Orr.  The Colonel has written the history of the 'first' 50 years of the Canadian Sea King, drawing on official documents and published matSea Kings erial as well as more than 70 oral history interviews with those who have supported, maintained and flown this capable helicopter.

The Canadian Sea King saga began in 1963 with the acceptance of the first helicopter by the Royal Canadian Navy, a tale that is still being written.  Introduced as an anti-submarine helicopter, the Sea King served in that role throughout the Cold War and then, following the first Gulf War in 1990, was transformed into a flexible surface and sub-surface surveillance aircraft.  Admission for this afternoon lecture is by donation.

In Amundsen’s Footsteps
May 29, 7pm

A relative of Roald Amundsen, Jay Ruzesky will present a lecture illustrated with photos from his pilgrimage to Antarctica on the 100th anniversary of Amundsen’s South Pole expedition.
