UASC Members:
The next UASC meeting will be this coming Wednesday, July 25th, on the 8th floor of the Helix Building, 310 S. Racine at Jackson. Refreshments will start at 6:30, business at 7:00, and the main speaker at 8:00. Afterwards several of us will retire to Riccobene's for further discussions and libations.
This month's main speaker will be Craig Rich, of the Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates. Craig is a 36-year veteran Great Lakes master scuba diver, and shipwreck researcher, who is responsible for the research of the known shipwrecks off West Michigan. A former radio deejay, he has provided professional narration and voice work for video productions as well as radio and TV commercials. He is a regular speaker to local groups and historical societies on the subjects of scuba diving and shipwrecks. He also has created the MSRA web page which grew from his personal research into shipwrecks such as the Chicora, Ironsides, Alpena, Andaste and Northwest Flight 2501. Craig is the author of two books on shipwrecks, "For Those In Peril: Shipwrecks of Ottawa County, Michigan" and "Through Surf and Storm: Shipwrecks of Muskegon County, Michigan".
In addition to our main speaker, we will also be hearing updates on our ongoing projects and discussing important upcoming events. Those looking for an opportunity to get involved will have a chance to discuss projects with the Project Leaders on hand.
Looking forward to seeing you all there,
John
