SECRET IN LOWER SELMAH (Lectures)

2:00 pm

The presentation will be a lively mixture of video narrative produced by Dale Stevens,
and anecdotes in which Merrill tells the story of the U.S. naval base and its research
work. Now 94 years of age, Merrill is a born story-teller, and will captivate you with
his tales of what happened there.
