Lecture:
The Cruise of the U.S. Sloop-of-War DECATUR, 1854-1859
Earlier this year, Dr. McConaghy won a Hooper Research Fellowship through the Navy allowing her to spend 9 weeks at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., researching the narrative of the USS Decatur in the Pacific Squadron, from Valparaiso to Victoria.
Dr. McConaghy had access to the Decatur's logs, day-to-day locations, journals, court-martial and medical records, drawings and other artifacts. She became a member of the crew, knowing and calling them all by name.
Join us Saturday, January 14, as the tales of the Decatur’s journey and Dr. McConaghy’s journey make for an exciting start to our 2006 Alumni meetings.
Lunch:
Everyone is invited to meet for lunch at 1:15 at the Canyons Restaurant, 6003 244th St SW, Mountlake Terrace, WA (425) 744-1525. When you check in, the reservations are under Linda Palmer’s name.
Parking:
Parking at the Shoreline Public Library is limited; we encourage our members to park off-site and car pool to the library. Handicap parking, always, has unrestricted use of the parking lot.
The Library has asked us to limit the number of cars we add to their parking lot, as they have an obligation to their patrons to provide parking. The most additional cars Shoreline believes they can handle is twenty and only if there are available spaces in their lot.
The Library is located in a residential area and there is on street parking available, in addition to the lot. If you arrive early, please make an effort to fill the on street parking first.
If you are able to make arrangements to car pool, may we suggest the following meeting places in close proximity to the Library:
