WEST COAST SUB ATTACKS DURING WWII
Oct. 31, 2017
John Geoghegan will be our speaker on October 31. His presentation is entitled "WEST COAST SUB ATTACKS DURING WWII." The California coast was SWARMING with Japanese submarines in the weeks immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Between December 10, 1941 and October 1942, nine Japanese submarines sunk a dozen merchant ships between Vancouver and San Diego as well as shelling the California coast on more than one occasion--episodes little remembered today. His talk is based on interviews he conducted with the Japanese naval officers who participated in the attacks. These interviews form the backbone of his non-fiction book, OPERATION STORM, which "The Wall Street Journal" called, "a fascinating, meticulously researched, and deft account." |

Golden Gate Bridge: An Inside View--Art, Architecture & Photography.
Jan. 23, 2018
Bob David is our speaker on January 23, 2018. His presentation is entitled: "Golden Gate Bridge: An Inside View--Art, Architecture & Photography." Few people have come to know the Golden Gate Bridge, inside and out, as extensively as Bob David. An architect and photographer, he began his career at the Bridge in 1973. For his first 30 years at the Bridge, he served as Design Director for the agency, which includes the operation of the Bridge itself plus the Golden Gate Transit Bus and Ferry system. In that capacity, he and his design team produced all the public information graphics and display hardware for the Transit system and the Bridge. He continues working in a semi-retired status, focusing on documentary photography of Bridge projects, such as the still ongoing Seismic Retrofit Project. Being inclined to be a student of history, Bob became a Bridge historian and archivist. He will recount his personal journey uncovering various historical, artistic and architectural anecdotes, some gathered first-hand from its creators. In 2012, he helped curate the Bridge’s 75th anniversary exhibit at the California Historical Society. The contribution of this monument to the culture and mystique of America’s West cannot be overstated. It is one of the world’s most recognized and admired geographic symbols. Bob’s blend of stories and images will provide a unique perspective on this celebrated San Francisco landmark |

Railroads in our Mill Valley and Marin Backyards.
Feb. 20, 2018
Historian and Railfan Richard Torney will be our speaker on February 20th. His presentation is entitled "Railroads in our Mill Valley and Marin Backyards." It will include a slide show featuring historic photos taken along the path of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad’s Electric Interurban Route coupled with recent photos taken in, as much as possible, the same locations. The old images date from the 1870’s through the 1960’s, and the current images have been taken between 2003 and today. Richard hopes that this presentation will help those familiar with these trains remember, and demonstrate to those who are not, the importance that railroads have played in showing the San Francisco Bay Area, and indeed the world, the wonders and opportunities that are to be found and enjoyed in Marin County. Our home would not be what it is today without this influence |

Rosa Parks: An International Icon of Resistance to Racial Segregation.
Feb. 27, 2018
Oak Dowling will be our speaker on December 5th. His presentation is entitled "Rosa Parks: An International Icon of Resistance to Racial Segregation." By refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus in 1955, black seamstress Rosa Parks helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States. The leaders of the local black community organized a bus boycott that began the day Parks was convicted of violating the segregation laws. Led by a young Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the boycott lasted more than a year—during which Parks not coincidentally lost her job—and ended only when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Over the next half-century, Parks became a nationally recognized symbol of dignity and strength in the struggle to end entrenched racial segregation. The US Congress called her "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement." |
