Lewis & Clark Class offered by Wayne State College

Dr. Hal Stearns, a nationally recognized researcher, historian and guide on Lewis and Clark, will speak on the Lewis and Clark Expedition at two workshops offered by Wayne State College at the Visitor's Center near Gavins Point Dam on June 4 and 5 (8 - 5 p.m.), and repeated on June 6 and 7.

Each workshop will include one day of presentations plus a one- day field trip by motorcoach (provided by the National Park Ser- vice) to points of interest along the actual Lewis and Clark Trail. A free picnic lunch, provided by the WSC Office of Continuing Education, will be served the first day of each workshop. Stearns is a frequent speaker- historian across the United States. He has served as a guide for a number of tour groups following the Lewis and Clark Trail. He is a member of the Lewis and Clark bicentennial commissions in both Nebraska and Montana. Time magazine reporter Megan Rutherford wrote about 8tearns: "Sacagawea was the interpreter for Lewis and Clark; Hal Stearns fills that role on the American Spirit (a train that follows the Trail between Montana and Oregon). Stearns is a mater yam spinner who has spent much of his life collecting Lewis and Clark lore and artifacts.

Cost for the workshop is $25 if taken for no credit. Cost for Nebraska residents taking the workshop for one-hour credit is $100.50; for non-residents, the cost is $183. To register for the workshop, or for more information, contact the WSC Office of Continuing Education at 800-228- 9972, ext. 7217.
