November
Speaker: David Brinkman
Topic: "Finding Granby".
In
1786, the South Carolina Assembly picked the village of Granby as the
location for South Carolina's new "central" State Capital. Join us in
the search for this lost part of our history which covers an amazing
473 years and the recent moving and sifting of over 100 tons of dirt to
find 100 pounds of Granby. Greater Piedmont Chapter Chair David
Brinkman will take you through the history and the archival and
archaeological exploration in finding Granby. In the journey, there
were some newer and older surprises that included the discovery of a
sunken snag boat (1908) just off the location of the discovery of the
site of Fort Congaree II (1748). Also, the discovery of items from
maybe the first local European Indian trader (1710) to forgotten
images of a WWII D-day invasion ship carrying granite from the old site
of Granby to Charleston. For those that catch the fever, you can also
join us on Sunday (November 10th) for another dig in Granby. The
Finding Granby web site is at: http://historysoft.com/granby/
About the speaker:
David
Brinkman is the current Chair of the Greater Piedmont Chapter of the
Explorers Club. David was born in Myrtle Beach, SC but has spent most
of his life in Columbia. He graduated from Irmo High School and the
University of South Carolina with a B.S. in Computer and Electrical
Engineering. For over 25 years, he has work as a software engineer for
NCR, AT&T, and Intel Corporations.
David never had
an interest in history until 1997 when, after losing his father, he
began a labor of love to represent and honor his father’s military
service in his dad’s WWII reunion group. It was through this that David
caught the history bug. In 2005, the discovery of an old bridge
abutment in his new backyard on the Broad River started a series of
local history projects from Columbia to Charleston.
Exploration Work:
* Extensive research of Columbia's River history (1700's to early 1900's):http://dobrinkman.net/bridge/
* Specialized work with computer overlays of old surveys and maps onto today's
maps (This work helped: Find the lost Broad River Confederate Bridge and
General Sherman's pontoon crossing site; Find the site of Jacob Geiger’s Mill on the
Congaree river; Verify the location of Friday's Ferry (at Granby) with that of
remains found in 2007; Find the location of the 1748 Fort Congaree in 2013.
* GPS mapping and photography of hundreds of South Carolina Ferry and Bridge sites.
* Creation of Smartphone GPS enabled tours for Android and iPhone smartphones (You do the
walking and your phone does the talking): http://historysoft.com/ :
Phone apps created:
-Columbia's Three Rivers History Tour (150 points of interest over 15
miles).
-Midlands' Historical Markers App (140 markers).
-Riverbanks Zoo Tour App (70 points of interest including Saluda Mill
Ruins).
-Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum App: The first smartphone
museum app that has automatic detection of a person's location in a
museum.

October
Speaker: Dr. Sean Place
Topic: Energy conservation in a changing climate: It’s not all about oil
Recent research is suggesting many organisms
display a remarkable ability to adapt physiologically to rapidly
changing environments, even those associated with global climate
change. However, despite maintaining the tools necessary to survive in
the altered environments, there is little indication of whether or not
these adjustments come at a significant energetic cost to the organism.
Since species survival is predicated on not just staying alive, but
reproducing at a level that can maintain population numbers, we need to
shift our attention to how long-term stress impacts the energy flow in
an organism and assess how this may alter growth and reproductive
output or strategies. To this end, recent research in my lab has
focused on measuring the energetic trade-offs associated with the
physiological adjustments Antarctic fish use to exist under oceanic
conditions predicted to occur as a result of increasing atmospheric CO2
levels.
Our speaker: Dr. Sean Place grew
up in New Mexico and received his BS in Biology from the University of
New Mexico. He received his Ph.D at the University of Santa Barbara. He
served as a NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at the MAYO Clinic.
Dr.
Place joined the faculty at the University of South Carolina in 2009 as
an Assistant Professor. He has been successful in securing nearly $2.4
million in research funds to investigate the effects of environmental
stress on a variety of organisms. He is currently focused largely on
Antarctic fish, but has also worked on everything from intertidal
invertebrates to mammals.
September
Speaker: Tom Elmore
Topic: The Burning of Columbia
Tom Elmore, a longtime resident of
Columbia, SC has
been (for decades) researching and documenting the Civil War
history of
South Carolina and he joins us this month to talk about the burning of
Columbia. Tom has recently published two major books related to
this
history: "Columbia's Civil War Landmarks" (2011: The History
Press) , and "A Carnival of Destruction-Sherman's Invasion of South
Carolina" (2012. Jogglingboard Press). His talk will cover many
details of Columbia that were lost in the fire, or forgotten over the years.
For many years, Tom and his wife (Krys Wood-Elmore) have worked as a team
in leading history tours of Columbia and covering such events as Sherman's
Right-wing invasion and the burning of Columbia. Come join us for a fascinating
look at such an important event in the history of the capital city. Tom will also have some books on hand for book signing.

meeting
July
Speaker: Jennifer Pournelle Ph.D. (FN'10)
Topic: "New findings in Iraq on ancient Mesopotamian cities"
For
more than a century, archaeologists have believed that ancient
Mesopotamian cities – places like Uruk and Ur – were born along the
banks of the great rivers of the Middle East and depended mainly on
irrigation of surrounding deserts for their survival.
Dr. Jennifer Pournelle
(Ph.D., 2003, Anthropology - Archaeology, University of California, San
Diego) is a research assistant professor in the School of the
Environment at the University of South Carolina. She has a different
theory.. She believes that the great cities of southern Iraq grew and
thrived in vast lowland marshes fed by those rivers, not along the
banks of rivers themselves.
Our speaker:
Dr. Pournelle's
interests are in the areas of landscape archaeology, anthropological
archaelogy, complex societies, cultural ecology, historical ecology,
archaeology of the Middle East. Interpretation of air photography and
satellite imagery toward landscape reconstruction through time. Her
research focuses on the environmental dimensions of social and cultural
change in wetland environments, especially regarding urban origins and
sustainability in deltaic settings. Future work will study past and
present strategies for biomass energy extraction from natural
environments.
Past experience includes arms control, information
technology, and training consultancy in Europe and the Middle East, and
fieldwork in Malaysia, Italy, southeastern Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, the
Republic of Georgia, and Azerbaijan, including research financed by
grants from the National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian
Institution, the National Geographic Society, the University of
California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, the University
of California Office of Research, and as an American School of Oriental
Research Mesopotamian Fellow.
June
Speaker: William R. Stanley Ph.D. (FN'90)
Topic: "My report on a Peace and Reconciliation Mission to Syria"
Dr. William R. Stanley is Professor Emeritus at the University of South Carolina (Department of Geography).
He
has a bipolar view of conflict resolution that began with enlisting in
the Marine Corps and service in Korea 1952-53. Starting in 1964 while
undertaking field work for the Ph.D. and continuing through the
present, yearly research endeavors in various corners of Africa and the
Middle East. Visited the Falklands in early 1983 following that
conflict to assess attitudes amongst the Islanders regarding long term
political relationships; official election monitor in the northern
(Ovamboland) region of Southwest Africa-Namibia during the November
1989 vote organized by the UN; frequent visitor to Sierra Leone and
Liberia during their recent implosions. Received two Alexander
von Humboldt Fellowships; National Geographic Society financial support
and a Fulbright fellowship for research in Namibia. An active
investigator, I continue to write on issues of political geography and
how contentious issues on today might impact the future.
The Topic:
"My
report on a Peace and Reconciliation Mission to Syria". A most unusual
opportunity came my way this past month. I was invited to join a small
international group of peace activists and political observers
mobilizing in Lebanon for a trip to Syria. We were 16 in all --two from
Northern Ireland including a Nobel Laureate who acted as spokesperson,
one from Brazil, two Canadians including one born in Iran, a political
exile for 20 years currently on the faculty at the University of
Montreal, the other currently involved in reconciliation efforts in the
South Sudan. Both the Brazilian and Iranian-Canadian had been tortured
while political prisoners in their countries of birth. There
were two Australians including an Anglican Priest whose parish is
in Sydney’s inner city area and whose outreach with the youth of his
parish is to teach them to box. Our leader in Syria was a remarkable
Mother Superior of an order centered in the city Homs. She, who
witnessed first hand the forces tearing apart her country and the often
distorted picture provided to western audiences, was instrumental in
mobilizing support, logistics and contacts in pro-government and
anti-government sectors . Three Lebanese active in organizing support
from the various religious and political communities in Lebanon
comprised the remainder of the team. Two cameramen from Australia
joined us to record some of our meetings. Additional private financial
support was provided by a wealthy Syrian deeply concerned for the state
of affairs in his homeland. This gentleman’s grandfather helped to
finance internal opposition to Ottoman rule of Syria prior to World War
1.

March
Speaker: Mackenzie L. Zippay, Ph.D.
Topic: "Research in the Antarctic: Impacts of climate change"
The
Topic: Dr. Zippay will talk about her recent research in the Antarctic.
This will include how they got there and what type of experiments were
performed. She will conclude with some preliminary data that was
collected from this past field season.
More about our Speaker:
Dr.
Zippay’s research interests lie within the comparative and molecular
physiology of marine invertebrates that inhabit dynamic environments.
Much of her research to date has centered on understanding how
variation in abiotic parameters of the natural environment translate
into an organism’s physiological performance using field-and
laboratory-based studies. With a background in molecular biology,
ecology, physiology and cellular biology, her attention focuses on the
underling process that enables an organism to respond and tolerate
environmental change. Dr. Zippay’s doctoral dissertation focused
on the physiological tolerances of climate change (temperature and
ocean acidification) on species distribution, specifically early life
history stages of marine invertebrates. While an Oceans and Human
Health postdoctoral scholar at the Medical University of South Carolina
and NOAA, she concentrated on understanding the regulation of toxin
biosynthesis in a harmful algal species, Karenia brevis, and how ocean
acidification may their growth and toxicity.
More recently, at the
University of South Carolina, Dr. Zippay begun to interlace her
molecular physiology background with mathematical modeling and thermal
engineering techniques, contributed by the Helmuth Lab, to explore
innovative ways the environment impacts coastal marine invertebrates.

February
Speaker: H. Macon Dunnagan Jr.
Topic: "Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro"
H. Macon Dunnagan Jr.
(1959– ) is an author (Sons of Kilimanjaro; Alexander Books, 2002), Mt.
Kilimanjaro Expedition Director, and Tanzania travel expert based in
Charlotte, NC.
Born in Belmont, North Carolina to Harold M.
Dunnagan and the former Ann Crenshaw, Dunnagan is the eldest of three
children. He graduated from Gaston Day School in 1979. During those
years he developed a desire to travel, working at Cheeca Lodge in
Islamorada, FL. In 1979 he entered Leese-McRae College, transferring to
Wofford College in 1981. Trying to find a major that would allow him
the freedom to travel, in 1984 he transferred once again to
Lenoir-Rhyne University, where he graduated with a degree in Philosophy
and Religion. Accepting a job with Piedmont Airlines in Columbia SC in
July 1986, Dunnagan’s involvement with the world of travel had begun.
Transferring to Piedmont’s base in his hometown of Charlotte, Dunnagan
spent the next six years traveling, taking his first trip overseas to
England in 1987, where he befriended the archaeologist John Lange.
While continuing to travel, he furthered his education, studying
international business at Queens College in Charlotte and Central
Piedmont Community College. In 1988 he accepted a summer sabbatical and
studied at Oxford's New College. Invited by Lange to an archaeological
dig in Évora, Portugal, Dunnagan would return there for the next four
years.
In 1991, at the start of the first gulf war, Dunnagan was
transferred to Laguardia Airport in New York and was promoted to
customer service supervisor after a year. Unable to travel in his new
position, however, he returned to Charlotte. On his second trip to Fiji
in March 1997, he met Michelle Amanda Phillips of Gibsons/Vancouver
Canada. They were married in January 1998 in Charlotte.
In
January 1999 Macon and Michele left for a South African vacation. Macon
had already decided he wanted to Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Prior to his
departure for South Africa, he had sent a letter to Zara Tours, the
only outfitter he knew of that focused on climbing Kilimanjaro. With
little experience in hiking and none in mountain climbing, he made his
first ascent in February 1999. He would return to climb again in 2000.
Subsequent to this, he wrote the novel Sons of Kilimanjaro about four
men, each with his own reason for wanting to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. But
tragedy in Macon’s own personal life would soon follow.
In
August 2005 Michelle was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer. After
a courageous battle, she succumbed to the disease in August 2007. Two
weeks later Macon traveled to Tanzania to place her ashes on top of
Kilimanjaro. From that point forward, he would lead climbs to fund
ovarian cancer awareness in the month of September.
In November
2007, Macon met Nancy Carr at an oyster roast in Charlotte. Macon
continued to lead Kilimanjaro climbs for Zara Tours. In October 2009
Nancy and Macon were married. In September 2010 Macon went back to
climb Kilimanjaro for his 14th, 15th and 16th times, becoming the first
person ever to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro three times in 28 days. In January
2011 he went back to climb again with Zara tours for his 17th time. He
continues to live in Charlotte and climb Kilimanjaro at least three
times a year. Macon, most recently, completed his 26th climb of
Kilimanjaro.

January
Speaker: Jeff Botz
Topic: "Portrait of Everest"
Jeff Botz joined us to talk about his "Portrait of Everest"
project and his challenging photography work done at an elevation of
22,000 feet. He also talked about the 1857 British renaming of
Everest from its indigenous name.
More about our speaker:
Jeff Botz is
a Himalayan mountain photographer.. twenty years in the making. After
college, Jeff became a dye transfer printer in New York City. His years
of printing color photos everyday provided him with a slow
contemplation of the effectiveness of color in photography. He
eventually became convinced that the color rarely served the photo’s
essential message or improved its expressiveness but mostly fulfilled
editorial expectations and commercial needs. Through all of this
experience, Jeff was perfecting the core skills he would later need in
order to become a zone system photographer in the style of Ansel Adams.
In 1976, Jeff spent four months trekking Nepal, recording the
scenery with his 35mm Nikon camera and Kodachrome color slide film.
That’s when he ran into the limitations of small format color
photography and realized that the mountain landscapes he
witnessed were too big for the 35mm format and the color film he was
using. The use of color was too limiting and, indeed, distracted from
and diminished the majestic expression and spiritual potential of the
mountains before him. He had come full circle, back to a belief that
black and white was the supreme form of the photograph. Jeff was raised
in New York, an environment of hyperbole and he dreamed of making
photos of epic proportions and cosmic implications and felt that this
was possible by marrying Adams’ photographic technique to the Himalayan
landscape. With that inspiration in mind, he was finally ready to
fulfill his 1970’s desire and his destiny of portraying the Himalayas
in that style. So, in 1998, at the age of 49, he purchased and built a
primitive 8x10” camera from a kit for $350.00, bought a plane ticket to
Nepal, and set out to try his hand at what he called the ‘Grand Style’
of his photographic masters.
