SUMMARY:CRM Talks - Robert Kim Bingham - Courageous Dissent: How Harry Bingham Defied His Government to Save Lives
DESCRIPTION:CRM Talks – Robert Kim Bingham\, Retired Federal Attorney\, US Department of Justice and US Department of Homeland Security\nTuesday\, June 8\, 2021\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers $5.00\nNon-Members $10.00 \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \nRobert Kim Bingham\, Retired Federal Attorney\, US Department of Justice and US Department of Homeland Security \nCourageous Dissent: How Harry Bingham Defied His Government to Save Lives \nCourageous Dissent is the first book published about America’s unsung diplomat hero Hiram (Harry) Bingham IV\, the author’s father\, who was in charge of issuing visas to America and freedom while stationed as a US vice-consul in Marseilles\, France\, just before World War II. It captures Bingham’s compelling story of placing humanity above his career during the early days of the Holocaust. Bingham defied his government’s restrictive immigration policies by running an underground railroad out of his villa. Both Jewish and non-Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler sought life-saving visas from Bingham during 1940-41. The book also reveals Bingham’s private life after resigning from the Foreign Service in 1945 when he was passed over for promotions. It recounts the author’s campaign to obtain a U.S. commemorative stamp bearing his father’s image issued in 2006 depicting Bingham as a ‘Distinguished American Diplomat.’\, and his posthumous awarding of the ‘Constructive Dissent’ award on June 27\, 2002. \nRobert Kim Bingham\, Sr. retired as a federal attorney in July 2009 after serving 37 years in the General Counsels offices of the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He graduated from Groton School in 1960\, Yale University in 1965\, and Boston University School of Law in 1968. In 1998\, he launched a stamp campaign for his late father Hiram (“Harry”) Bingham IV\, which resulted in the unveiling of a U.S. postage stamp bearing his father’s image as a “Distinguished American Diplomat.”  His father was officially honored on Capitol Hill Washington on May 27\, 2006 for his role as a WWII rescuer in Marseilles\, France during 1940-1941. Kim has authored two books: “COURAGEOUS DISSENT:  How Harry Bingham Defied His Government to Save Lives;” and “BECOMING AN AMERICAN: The legal Process.” Kim and his wife Anne Carr Bingham live in Salem.  They have two children\, Alexandra and Robert Kim Bingham\, Jr.\, and five young-adult grandchildren.” \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience. By participating\, you agree to allow the recording to be posted on the Connecticut River Museum’s website\, Facebook page\, Instagram feed\, and other media.

SUMMARY:Burning of the Ships Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Burning of the Ships Commemoration\nSaturday\, May 8\, 2021 at 2:00 PM\nConnecticut River Museum\, Essex\, CT \nThe Burning of the Ships Commemoration is a free public celebration held in Essex\, Connecticut on the second Saturday in May. The Sailing Masters of 1812 hold the commemorative event to mark the British raid on Essex ships and shipyard on April 8\, 1814 during the War of 1812. \nThe 2021 event\, under COVID-19 precautions\, requires a smaller commemoration with a single corps instead of the usual full parade with multiple fife and drum corps. The Sailing Masters of 1812 will parade from the town landing onto the Connecticut River Museum grounds. The hour-long ceremony will consist of the playing of the National Anthem\, commentary by officials\, historical context\, and a short concert. \nBackground information: \nIn 1968\, on a damp and chilly spring day\, the Sailing Masters of 1812 held its first “Burning of the Ships Commemoration.” The group’s charter members were very well aware of the historical importance of the April 8\, 1814 burning of the ships in Essex\, the largest naval loss that the United States had until Pearl Harbor. The Sailing Masters continued an oral tradition started by Austin Lay who witnessed the raid and told the story to school children until his death\, at the age of 93\, in 1891. The Sailing Masters have become the keepers of this small part of US history\, and annually mark this historic event with a parade and concert right at the location of the British raid. \nThe purpose of the Sailing Masters of 1812 is to perpetuate the art and performance of ancient fifing and drumming and to commemorate the role of Essex\, Connecticut in the War of 1812\, and is a nonprofit organized for historical and educational purposes. The Corps has adopted the uniform of a US Naval Sailing Master\, a warrant officer ranked between midshipmen and lieutenant. The Corps performs on wooden fifes and rope tension snare and bass drums\, and its repertoire includes period tunes and music from the fife and drum tradition. These include nautical and military tunes such as “Roving Sailor\,” Sailor’s Hornpipe\, “1812\,” “Hulls Victory\,” and “Unites States March;” and historic tunes such as “Yankee Doodle\,” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” \nImage credit:  Sailing Masters of 1812

SUMMARY:CRM Talks - Neil Pederson - The Memories and Lives of Old Trees and What They Can Tell Us About Climate History
DESCRIPTION:CRM Talks – Neil Pederson\, Senior Ecologist\, Harvard University Forest\nTuesday\, April 27\, 2021\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers $5.00\nNon-Members $10.00 \nNeil Pederson\, Senior Ecologist\, Harvard University Forest \nThe Memories and Lives of Old Trees and What They Can Tell Us About Climate History \nDid you know that\, until recently\, people in the Northeastern US have been living in one of the wettest eras of the last 500 years? Trees do. Did you know that\, until recently\, global warming had not impacted the Northeastern US like it had in other regions or the globe as a whole? How do we know these things? Trees are witnesses of how our shared environment changes over time. The oldest trees\, in fact\, and perhaps not surprisingly\, often have the best stories. As a person curious about trees\, forests\, and how they survive over time\, the memories of trees\, as embedded in their rings\, are a great natural database to learn about history. In this lecture\, I will share how we have learned to recognize and “interview” the eldest trees in the forest. Their stories can give us insight on how our futures might play out as climate change continues. \nNeil is a Senior Ecologist at the Harvard Forest who studies the dynamics and long-term development of forests from individual trees to across regions and subcontinents. He is especially interested in the response of trees as they interact with climate and as they interact amongst themselves. Neil conducts basic and applied research to help develop ecologically-based\, long-term forest management. He digs natural history\, charismatic megaflora\, and old-growth forests. Neil is also very curious about the growth\, longevity\, and ecology of broadleaf trees and forests. \nNeil grew up in rural Volney\, NY\, in the Adirondack Mountain forests\, and on the tasty bass grooves of Les Claypool. He earned an associates’ degree in math while playing lacrosse at SUNY-Morrisville\, got a bachelor’s degree at SUNY-College of Environmental Science & Forestry\, and a MS at Auburn University studying an old bottomland hardwood forest in South Carolina. After a stint as a tree-ring technician assisting on climate change research in Mongolia and Russia at the Tree-Ring Laboratory of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, he earned a PhD studying forest ecology and climate change along the eastern US seaboard at Columbia University. Before becoming a senior ecologist in Fall 2014 at the Harvard Forest\, Neil was an assistant professor in biology at Eastern Kentucky University and a research professor at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. \nHe currently has grants with the US Forest Service and National Science Foundation to study the impacts of extreme climate on the lives of trees in the Northeastern US and how climate might have shaped the old-growth forests we love today. \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience. By participating\, you agree to allow the recording to be posted on the Connecticut River Museum’s website\, Facebook page\, Instagram feed\, and other media.

SUMMARY:CRM Talks - Eric Hintz: Three Centuries of Innovation in the Connecticut River Valley
DESCRIPTION:CRM Talks – Eric Hintz: Three Centuries of Innovation in the Connecticut River Valley\nTuesday\, April 6\, 2021\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers $5.00\nNon-Members $10.00 \nEric Hintz\, Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation/Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History \nThree Centuries of Innovation in the Connecticut River Valley \nThe Connecticut River valley has long been—and remains—one of the nation’s most important places of innovation\, commerce\, and creativity. The Connecticut River valley first supported agriculture and trade among Native Americans and European settlers. Protecting that trade and the lives of industrial workers gave rise to MassMutual\, Aetna\, and other firms in a burgeoning insurance industry. Meanwhile\, the federal Springfield Armory\, and private arms makers such as Samuel Colt\, Horace Smith\, and Daniel Wesson\, perfected the techniques of interchangeable parts manufacturing and helped establish the Springfield-Hartford corridor as one of the birthplaces of American manufacturing. During the 19th and 20th centuries\, all kinds of products—including firearms\, sewing machines\, bicycles\, automobiles\, machine tools\, typewriters\, aircraft engines\, and helicopters—were invented and manufactured in this hotbed of “Yankee ingenuity.”  The valley has also supported the work of writers and creative artists\, such as Mark Twain and Dr. Seuss\, and inspired new forms of recreation\, from Dr. James Naismith’s game of basketball\, to Milton Bradley’s “Game of Life.” Since World War II\, the valley has struggled with the effects of deindustrialization. Nevertheless\, civic leaders have worked to revitalize the region by drawing on the valley’s long heritage of innovation. \nEric S. Hintz\, PhD is an historian with the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Eric curates exhibits\, produces the Center’s annual symposium series\, coordinates the Center’s fellowship and grant programs\, and assists in the collection of historically significant artifacts and documents. Eric’s research explores the history of invention\, innovation\, and R&D. He is co-editor of Does America Need More Innovators? (MIT Press\, 2019). Eric earned his MA (2005) and PhD (2010) in the history and sociology of science from the University of Pennsylvania. \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience.

SUMMARY:Authors & Artists Online Series: Erica Cirino “Trashed rivers\, seas of plastic: How your habits on land harm the ocean”
DESCRIPTION:Erica Cirino “Trashed rivers\, seas of plastic: How your habits on land harm the ocean” \nPresented online via Zoom\nTuesday\, October 13\, 2020\n6:00 pm \n$5.00 Non-Members \nMembers Free\nMembers Click Here to Register \nThe ocean is often depicted as ground zero of the world’s plastic pollution crisis. But it turns out that a minority of plastic in the oceans—about 20 percent—is there as a result of dumping at sea. The vast majority of pollution—about 80 percent—blows from land to sea\, or flows into the oceans from rivers and estuaries. Erica shares her experiences reporting on the front lines of the plastic pollution crisis—revealing how land\, rivers\, and sea are interconnected—and gives advice to Connecticut River residents on how to minimize their impact. \nErica Cirino is a writer\, artist and wildlife rehabilitator who explores the intersection of the human and nonhuman worlds. Her work is focused on the human connection to nature–wild creatures in particular–and human impact on planet Earth. She is currently writing a book about the global plastic pollution crisis and her experiences covering the issue\, documenting plastic pollution in nature\, the latest science that measures the extent of the crisis\, and new solutions that could prevent further ecological destruction and harm to wildlife. Her work has taken her sailing twice across wide swaths of the Pacific\, across the Atlantic\, in Danish waters\, in California’s waters\, and around Iceland; to Southeast Asia\, across the U.S. and Western Europe; the Caribbean; Polynesia and beyond. When she’s not on the road with her notebooks and cameras\, she lives in Essex\, Connecticut\, and Copenhagen\, Denmark\, with her husband\, who is also a sailor. \nTo take a peak into life on the water with Erica\, and see what it was like to sail across the most polluted part of the ocean\, check out this YouTube video:  Sailing inside the Pacific Garbage Patch \nPURCHASE TICKETSZoom Link will be emailed to attendees.Photo: Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean covering plastic pollution at sea with all-female eXXpedition crew\, 2019. ©Erica Cirino
