Join FOR78 as we host a FREE presentation by Lee Hendrix, author of Peep Light - Stories of a Mississippi River Boat Captain. **LOCATION CHANGE Presentation will be held at Dash Center in the Sunset Room. 515 Quincy Street, Onalaska, WI 54650. Mr. Hendrix will captivate the audience with his experiences and stories of working on the Mississippi River. The stories range from personal reflections, tales of working as a deckhand and pilot, with some River history thrown in for good measure. Hendrix began working on the Mississippi in 1972 as a deckhand. He became a pilot in 1978 and worked steadily through 1983, when he became an outdoor educator in Europe, then worked for the Student Leadership Environmental Adventure Program in the St. Louis Public Schools system. He never quit the rivers entirely, though, and later continued to work as a captain of passenger vessels and casinos. Lee also contributes stories to Big River Magazine and the Waterway Journal Weekly. Copies of Peep Light are available for sale in the nature store. The presentation is for all ages, but best suited for older children and adults.
