MOWW News:This month’s meeting of the Military Order Of The World Wars is Tuesday Oct. 18.
This month’s speaker will be Hansjorg Jansen. He will relate the story of a high-tech immigrant who got swept into the United States with the wave of scientific and engineering talent that this country needed to catch up with the Soviet Union and ultimately win the space race. It is quite different from the fates of millions before him who struggled valiantly to reach these shores and start a new, better life.
The meeting is in the Los Alamos Research Park the 2nd floor conference room. The Los Alamos Research building is located west of the South Mesa Fire Station.
Parking is available east of the fire station (accessible from southbound lane of the Los Alamos Canyon Bridge) or east of the Research Park building (access is through the LANL control stations to West Jemez road.)
Entrance to the Reach Park main conference room is from the ground level elevator on the east side of the building to the 2nd level.
The meeting will begin with a social period at 6 p.m. followed by a brief business meeting and dinner at 6:25 p.m. The presentation will begin at about 7:15 p.m. The Military Order of the World Wars dinner meetings are open to interested citizens for the dinner and program with RSVP, or the program only at no cost. The Hot Rocks Java Café staff will be catering the dinner: Spiral Cut Glazed Ham and appropriate side dishes. Cost of the dinner is $25 per person.
