Jibboom Club #1 Tuesday, October 20, 1 PM

Join us for the next Jibboom Club at the Custom House for coffee conversation, and good friends.

Fred Litty will be the speaker at the next Jibboom Club meeting to talk about his experiences on the US Navy Nuclear Research Vessel, the NR-1.The NR-1 sub performed Cold War operations so classified that its 10-man crews remain sworn to secrecy to this day. It had a claw to pick objects off the sea bed-crucial in the days when Americans and Soviets were tapping underground cables -- and even went in search of fragments from the Challenger space shuttle, which exploded during blast-off in 1986. NR-1’s remains have been put on display in Groton, Connecticut, where she was first launched in 1969. It’s CT Submarine Century.

As always, coffee and refreshments will be provided! Donations for refreshments, only. Please come & bring a friend.
