July Speaker - Don Corrigan

Join us on July 20th for a presentation by journalist Don Corrigan. He will share stories from his most recent book, Show-Me…Nature’s Wrath, published by Reedy Press. He recounts tales of some of Missouri’s most extreme weather, from freak hailstorms and tornadoes to massive blizzards, drought and floods. He chronicles weather events from the 1880s to the present, using photos and newspaper pages to illustrate his story telling. Don is an interesting and entertaining speaker, as well as a writer, and you can expect him to bring these tales to life.

Don has been a Professor of Journalism at Webster University for over 30 years. His interest in and research on natural history and events led him to create an Outdoor/Environmental Journalism Certificate of Study for students at Webster. Don is also the editor and copublisher of the Webster-Kirkwood and South County Times. He has won numerous awards for his research, teaching and his excellent work as a college newspaper advisor. Don presented a very engaging program to MoNEP in August 2008 on his prior book, Show Me…Natural Wonders.

Share and Show

The Share and Show portion of each meeting is where members share up to FOUR of their images, along with short descriptions.  Now we have three ways to share the images: slides, prints, or digital files.  Digital files should be brought in on a labeled USB flash drive or CD-ROM and given to the Jerry Miller by 6:45.  Image names should include the name of the member and should be in a folder with the member's name.  Vertical images should be sized with a height of 768 pixels; horizontal images with a width of 768 pixels; and saves as .jpg files.  Here are directions for resizing images.  Remember themes are only suggestions.  Do not forget to pick up your flash drives and CD-ROMs before you leave the meeting.

Share and Show Themes

July - Insects
August - Nature in your Backyard
September - Yellow
