Feb. 7 - Tom Wilson, National Park Service Ranger
A Convenient Situation to Make Salt
From currency to seasoning, salt has played a vital role in human history and survival. Tom Wilson, through a visual presentation, will discuss the importance of salt for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which Corps members made salt, and how it was made. Wilson will share how the current Salt Works site became a memorial to the expedition's salt making endeavors.
Feb. 14 - Colin Fogarty, Executive Director, Confluence Project
Connecting to Place: A Confluence Story Gathering
Colin Fogarty has always been drawn to the notion that we are surrounded by history. So many of the most compelling stories we tell connect the present with the past. As a student at Miami University in Ohio, that interest led to a radio documentary on the history of the Miami Tribe. After moving to Portland, Colin became a radio reporter for Oregon Public Broadcasting. His stories were frequently heard on NPR and won regional and national awards. Along the way, Colin kept returning to the theme of history and its role in our everyday lives. He produced stories on Columbia River rock art, Lewis and Clark, and the silencing of Celilo Falls.
