Bald Eagles

The Brown County Bald Eagles will host their June meeting commemorating the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Brown County Inn.

Perhaps one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century is the disappearance of Amelia Earhart during her around-the-world record flight attempt. At the June Bald Eagles gathering, Gary Francis Quigg will be discussing his involvement with TIGHAR (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) in the search for an answer to this mystery.

An archaeologist, historian, museum professional, and television documentary producer, Quigg has extensive archaeological field experience, often in such extreme locations as the Newfoundland Cape Shore, Alaska’s Misty Fjords Wilderness, and the remote islands of Kirabiti, Yap, and the Solomons in the South Pacific. Gary has won awards for PBS documentaries as well as an Emmy as a freelance writer/producer. He has participated in six expeditions to the island of Nikomaroro in the South Pacific to conduct archaeological research on the disappearance of Earhart.

The Brown County Bald Eagles have been meeting twice a year for more than 25 years and are made up of military veterans and others who have an interest in aviation and aviation history.

The cost to attend is $27, cash or check collected at the door. It will include a buffet meal. Dress is casual. RSVP by Thursday, June 6 to 812-988-2377 or [email protected].
