Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County will host Dave Shafer, who will discuss his long and productive career in high tech optical design relying on a blend of imagination and calculation to create new designs and inventions. Shafer holds over 200 U.S. and foreign patents covering a wide range of optical designs . His simplest was for a new kind of stereo viewer for Salvador Dali to go with the stereo painting that he had created. Other designs were used for top secret spy satellite cameras; a new way to detect Russian submarines; a new type of telescope sent to Saturn.
