Last Wednesday we enjoyed another timely and informative presentation from a CSU faculty. CSU Associate Professor Anders Fremstad’s talk was entitled Economic Inequality.
For our July 13 meeting, Dr. Antonino Barbera introduced us to the benefits of table tennis (ping pong) in countering and even reversing the effects of various neurodegenerative conditions (e.g., Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder in kids.
On June 15, for our last Zoom-only meeting of 2022, Noel Black introduced us to his audio podcast series, “Lost Highways”, documentaries from the History Colorado Center in Denver. In his presentation, Mr. Black talked about the philosophy behind the podcast and used short clips from one of the podcasts (about Alan Berg) to summarize the processes, both technical and journalistic, that he and his team have to go through to produce each episode. Episodes are available on the History Colorado website at https://www.historycolorado.org/losthighways.
For our in-person meeting on March 30, Dave Costlow, Executive Director of the Colorado River Outfitters Association (CROA), gave us an overview of the river-rafting industry in Colorado and parts of the West, including the effects of the Covid pandemic on the industry. Mr. Costlow started by pointing out that, although you might be able to find a float trip someplace like Missouri, you will only be able to find a real river rafting trip in Colorado and similar states in the West. In order to demonstrate the scale of the industry in Colorado, he gave us some statistics about the industry in Colorado.
