Legendary local aviator Bob Fogg subject of program by NH Aviation Museum at Laconia Public Library
LACONIA — Local aviator Bob Fogg will be the subject of a presentation by NH Aviation Museum’s Capt. Charles Gerhan at the Public Library at 7 p.m. on Monday, February 28. Gerhan will talk about Fogg’s flying adventures, including mail flights to Vermont during the 1927 flood, the “Bremen” and “Viking” trips to Newfoundland in 1928 and 1931, and the “under the bridge” flight the legendary aviator took in the 1930s with Eleanor Roosevelt. Gerhan will also bring a model of Fogg’s “New Hampshire” WACO 10, based in Concord, in which he made the first passenger-carrying landing in 1927 in Manchester, and flew from the lakes on floats. A retired U.S. Naval officer, Gerhan flew maritime antisubmarine aircraft with squadrons based
in Maine and Florida, served aboard the aircraft carrier Essex, chaired the Department, and taught aero engineering at the Naval Academy. He managed aircraft and electronics acquisition at the Navy Department in Washington, D.C. and Lakehurst, NJ, and commanded the Naval Avionics Center, an industrial facility in Indianapolis, IN. After retiring from the Navy in 1983, Gerhan became a lawyer and practiced law with the McLane firm and with NH Legal Assistance for 15 years. He is currently fully retired and a volunteer at the NH Aviation Museum. This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call 527-1278 or visit lhmslpl@ metrocast.net.

Runaway wives: When Colonial Marriages Failed
Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 6:30 PM Marcia Schmidt Blaine, Professor of History at UNH When 18th century wives tired of the marriage contract, they could run, but they could not hide. Husbands chased them down via newspaper ads, effectively removing their sources of credit and income.
