Paul N1PSX to reschedule & thanks to Richard Connor
Unfortunately Paul N1PSX (RI Section Emergency Manager) was injured today and spent his evening at the hospital getting patched up, so he was unable to join us at the meeting for his presentation on ARES here in RI. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to hearing his presentation in August.
We were fortunate to be visited by Richard Connor, an expert on Dolphin “society” and behaviors. Richard, who has spent decades researching Dolphin behavior in Shark Bay Australia, has recently published a book for lay people, and will be giving us a full presentation at the October meeting. He was nice enough to give us a preview tonight.
Information on the “Decade of the Dolphin” can be found here.
