Dear Right Angle Member:
RIGHT ANGLE CLUB AUGUST SPEAKER SCHEDULE
August 3 – Walton Van Winkle
The title of what promises to be a fascinating talk is “Peg Leg versus Big Belly; the story of the Dutch and Swedish rivalry along the South and Delaware rivers.”.
Walton (Owner of Van Winkle Trade (import/export) has become (self-appointed) historian of the Philadelphia “gentlemen’s clubs” scene. Some presentation information comes from a previous issue of “Philadelphia Reflections.” Much of his talk comes from recently discovered and translated documents, which shed much light on obscure moments in our history

August 17 – Thomas Williams (our very own)
“Travels in Aveyron – ‘The Wild West of France'”

Cheers,
Neale Bringhurst
