K2TQN's Speaking Tour for this Year  I'm planning to attend the Glacier Waterton Hamfest in Montana on July 15-17, 2011.                                       I hope to see you there. I hope to be making a few presentations about the 1923 Bowdoin expedition, titled the “Wireless North Pole and the Adventures of Don Mix” or Jack Irwin's excellent adventure on the "Airship America" with lots of the original photos. I regret not being able to go everywhere I have been invited.
