Next Bay Model Tour With Dick Jordan (Nov. 15)

Dick Jordan will be at the Bay Model on Saturday, November 15th, and will be offering a free tour from 2-4 pm for the Tuesday Meandering group. If you missed Dick Jordan's Bay Model tour last Wednesday (October 29th), let him know by Friday, November 14th if you'd like to take the tour on Saturday.

The Bay Model was built in two stages (mid-'50's, late '60's). Like most of us that have passed the mid-century age mark, it is a bit creaky. Recently, the Pacific Ocean section of the Model was leaking, but a patch job got it back in operation just about two hours before the Meandering group tour last week. Unfortunately, the patch job hasn't been fully successful, so the Model is temporarily shut down once again. Hopefully, the latest round of repairs will be complete and the Model will be up and running again by the end of next week. (If not, Dick will lead an "Ice Age" tour --- what San Francisco Bay looked like before the ice cap melted and flooded the Bay with salt water).
