SUMMARY:November History Pub: Oregon Search and Rescue Presented by Glenn Voelz
DESCRIPTION:Oregon’s long tradition of volunteer search and rescue dates to the territorial days\, when good Samaritans and mountain men came to aid those in need. On the coast\, surfmen of the U.S. Life-Saving Service protected mariners traversing the “Graveyard of the Pacific.” In the early twentieth century\, outdoor clubs like the Mazamas\, the Skyliners\, and the Obsidians served as informal search and rescue units\, keeping Oregonians safe in the mountains\, rivers\, and wilderness areas. After World War II\, Oregon’s volunteer teams began to professionalize and became some of the most effective units in the country. Join author Glenn Voelz as he recounts the history of Oregon Search and Rescue. \nGlenn Voelz served as an intelligence officer for 25 years in the Army\, holding senior leadership positions at the Pentagon\, the White House Situation Room\, and NATO headquarters in Brussels\, Belgium. He was an assistant professor of history at West Point and has authored several books on Oregon history\, including Mount Bachelor: A History\, Oregon Search & Rescue: Answering the Call\, and The Oregon Skyline Trail. He serves as a board member of the Deschutes County Historical Society and the Deschutes Historical Museum. \nDoors open at 6:00 p.m.\, Presentation begins at 7:00 p.m.  Reservations Required\, Click here for tickets \n Click here to purchase “Oregon Search & Rescue: Answering the Call”; books will be available for sale at the presentation as well.
