Join Study Leader, Buck Beasom, who lives in Florida, and teaches for us on Zoom, will be in Lebanon, NH, to teach a one day seminar.
Buck will explore three significant moments in innovation over the last two centries. This day-long seminar is comprised of three lectures - Canals, Steam, and How a Daredevil Aviator Changed the world.
Since many of our members have taken courses with Buck over the past few years, we wanted to give folks a chance to mingle with Buck of coffee and nibbles, and then move into introductions and Buck's presentations.
