[PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention Update

[Jonathan Wallace <jon@psubs.org>]

Hello fellow psubbers,

The 2nd annual PSUBS.ORG convention is only two weeks away and I'd like
to update you with some information.

I am happy to announce that Mark Ragan, Hunley Project Historian, will be
attending and giving a lecture entitled "History, Recovery, and Excavation
of H.L. Hunley".  Mr. Ragan not only acted as the Project Historian for
the Hunley recovery effort, he was also a night shift recovery diver.

Ragan is author of "The Hunley: Submarines, Sacrifice, & Success in the
Civil War" considered one of the definitive books on the H.L. Hunley.
He also owns a K-250 personal submersible and offers pilot training for
it.

The new PSUBS.ORG tee-shirts are in and look fabulous.  I expect the
embroidered caps to be here next week.  Those of you who pre-ordered
apparel will receive them at the convention.  I will have a limited
supply of PSUBS.ORG tee-shirts (various sizes) and caps available for
sale at the convention for $19.00 (US) each.  Please plan ahead because
these will be sold CASH ONLY, no exceptions.

----------

We still have room for speakers.  If you know someone who would like
to speak at the convention, please have them contact me at
jon@psubs.org

Please note that the Amoskeag Fishways and Learning Center is located
directly behind the hotel.  Admission is free.  A hydro-electric dam
necessitated the installation of a fish ladder for herring, shad,
lamprey, and salmon.  The site includes a visitor center with a large
viewing area under the water level to watch fish jump the ladder.
