Come join us to help celebrate graduation with the kids of Pacific Coast Marlins Learn to Swim. We will be presenting a check to the Club as part of our support for local Canal projects. 

Another exciting film has been chosen, this time "A Walk in the Woods" directed by Ken Kwapis. ("Big Miracle" "He's Just Not That In To You", "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" etc.)   The book is the adaptation of popular author Bill Bryson's novel of the same name from 1998.  The movie tracks Bryson (Robert Redford) walking the Appalachian Trail with out-of-shape old buddy Katz (Nick Nolte).   Afterwards, stay for a discussion about Marin Hiking Trails with Bill Buck, National Trail Guides and Master of Ceremonies Noah Griffin.

 

 

 

Pamela Borgfeldt Taylor  was Pan Am Stewardess that was on the last plane out of Saigon Vietnam during the war: a mercy flight to evacuate the Pan Am employees stranded in Saigon.  Several of us were using the napkins to wipe our eyes as she described the young children, teenage Am-Asian boy, and Vietnamese workers who desperately wanted to leave South Vietnam.  Hours before the fall of Saigon, the Boeing 747 managed to take off with almost 500 passengers.  Their plane was blocked by a fighter that had crashed on the runway, but pilot Bob Berg got South Vietnamese bulldozers to clear the runway and they took off, amid machine guns firing at them, on April 30th, 1975.    For those readers who were unable to attend but want to review her riveting story, a version appears here:  http://clippercrew.com/my-story-of-the-last-flight-out-of-saigon/
