baltimoresun.com - Bay & Environment: Learn about Chesapeake history

Want to spend a beautiful evening outdoors learning about Chesapeake Bay history and ecology?

Head to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's offices at 6 Herndon Avenue

in Annapolis at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 26, to hear a lecture from naturalist John Page Williams Jr. about his new book, "Chesapeake: Exploring the Water Trail of Captain John Smith."

In a 192 page paperback, Williams has woven together his knowledge of the Bay, its history and wildlife into a narrative of the 1,700-mile journey that Captain John Smith took through the Chesapeake Bay. The event is free, but registration is required. Please RSVP to Heather Tuckfield at 443-482-2151 or htuckfield@cbf.org.

The book can be purchased for $12.95 from Amazon.com.

About the bloggers

Rona Kobell reports on the Chesapeake Bay, and in her seven years with The Sun, she's visited clam farms in Virginia, a peeler pen on Taylors Island and a small market on Smith Island that serves what many people consider the best crab cake in the world (to judge for yourself, head to the Drum Point Market in Tylerton). Rona enjoys hanging out with her husband and daughter.

Tom Pelton writes about the environment and has been at The Sun for 10 years. He lives in the city with his wife, two daughters, and an exotic ecosystem that involves a cat, hamsters, hermit crabs, cacti, running shoes, drums, guitar, violins, mild cheeses and strong opinions.

Tim Wheeler writes about growth and base-realignment for The Sun. A reporter and editor here since 1985, the West Virginia native has spent most of his adult life around the bay. He lives in Catonsville, one of Baltimore's older, walkable suburbs.
