PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Aloha Adventurers’,
It was great to see so many of you at our February and March meetings and I hope you will find the upcoming quarter’s speakers to be just as interesting. Here are some things to know about each of them:
April is a new location at the Hawaii Kai Golf Course, which is on the mauka side of Kalanianaole Highway between Kalama Valley and the Makapu’u Lighthouse trail. There is plenty of parking available. Once you turn into the driveway, continue straight ahead until you are in front of the building and the large parking lot. If you need to use the elevator to access our second floor banquet room, after you turn into the driveway, please take the first right turn to a small lot where you can easily access the elevator. We will open the banquet room a little earlier than usual at 5:45 pm so you will have time to admire the ocean views while you enjoy a drink before dinner.
In May, we are back at the Waikiki Yacht Club, so on Wednesday evening instead of our usual Thursday. We will have a business meeting to review the results from the survey you completed back in January, followed by a slightly shorter than usual presentation by Club member John Patterson. We will be finished at our usual time.
In June, it’s another new to us location at Natsunoya Tea House on Alewa Heights, I’m sure many of us have been there, although if you’re like me, its been quite a while. This will be a “Bring a Friend” night where the $5 guest fee will be waived.
I won’t see you at the April meeting, because David and I are taking a transatlantic cruise followed by 10 days in Italy, but I hope you all enjoy our excellent speaker Jeff Tripp and his further adventures in France.
Carolyn Gire, Club President

Jeff will take us on a tour of Colmar, France—a sequel to his last presentation on Belgium and Northern France. Located in the Grand Est region of northeastern France, near the border with Germany, its old town has cobblestone streets lined with half-timbered medieval and early Renaissance buildings. The Gothic 13th-century, Eglise Saint-Martin church stands on central Place de la Cathédrale. The city is on the Alsace Wine Route, and local vineyards specialize in Riesling and Gewürztraminer wines.
Colmar is a city with a fascinating past, renowned for its well-preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks, and its museums, among which is the Unterlinden Museum, which houses the Isenheim Altarpiece. Although situated in Haut-Rhin department and Grand Est region of north-eastern France, Colmar was German from 1871–1918 and 1940–1945. This presentation will examine the unique history and architectural beauty of Colmar, and will include history and images of the Alsatian Wine Route, considered to be the "capital of Alsatian wine".
Jeff Tripp holds a Ph.D. in American Studies and a master’s degree in Asian Studies from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of American Studies at UHM, where he also directs the department’s Graduate Certificate Program in Historic Preservation. He wrote his dissertation on the DMZ in Korea and has presented at the Adventurers Club before.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Wed, May 18, 2022 by member John Patterson “In Search of Papillon”
Devil's Island was also notorious for being used for the internal exile of French political prisoners, with the most famous be-ing Captain Alfred Dreyfus accused of spying for Germany. The Dreyfus Affair was a scandal extending for several years in late 19th-early 20th century France, exposing "anti-Semitism" and corruption in the French military.
John Patterson was raised in Philadelphia, educated in Electrical Engineering at Univ. of New Mexico (BSEE) and Purdue (MSEE), and spent most of his career as a Nuclear Engineer with the government (AEC, ERDA, DOE). Travel has been a part of John's life since his first flight from Philadelphia to Albuquerque for college. His more recent travel experience has been predominantly cruising due to his spouse's health limitations. Two notable cruises were to Cape Town, one from Dubai, the other Miami covering the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean approaches to South Africa. Tonight's program is an excerpt from one of those trips.
John’s Presentation will be preceded by a short business meeting.
