Lecturer

Over the years, I have regularly presented scholarly papers drawn from my several research projects. At the same time, I have also done lectures in public forums including the Smithsonian Institution, the Canton Art Museum, the Palm Springs Airplane Museum, the British Interplanetary Society, the Washington, D.C. Martin Luther King Library, and the San Diego association of Independent Scholars. I am available to make presentations on the following subjects:
