Niagara Frontier Branch Events

The annual Niagara Frontier Branch Meeting was held at the Saturn Club on Wednesday September 29, 2010. Twenty-two members and their guests reconnected and told stories new and old.

A special treat was a presentation by William ‘Chip' Reynolds, Captain of de Halve Maen, who spoke about early Dutch navigation and commence as well as the technology of the day and its uncanny accuracy. His presentation was supported by numerous visuals and everyone present learned a great deal about Dutch influences past and present.
