stayed. He worked his whole career in manufacturing. His most recent job, from which he recently retired, was with a company that builds aerospace parts. He initially became interested in astronomy during the “space race” in the late 1950s. Then girls, cars, work, and school took him away from it until the 1990s when he re-caught the bug. He is one of the original members of Nevada County Astronomers and has been involved with the club since 2008. This year, he is the president which he attributes to ‘mostly slow reflexes.’
Gage Gage captured our close attention with this 30 minute summary of his biography of Errol MacBoyle. This biography is titled "MacBoyle's Gold" and what sets it apart from other stories of gold in the Sierra foothills is the setting, which is all around Nevada city and Grass Valley. Gage was able to tell us some of the details of mining in the area while naming some of the familiar locations, including the Champion Mine, the Idaho-Maryland Mine, and the Empire Mine. It was surprising to some of us in the audience to find out that there was no Depression in Nevada County during the 1930s, as gold-mining flourished in the area and was only interrupted by World War II. Those of us who are new to the area were fascinated during Gage's entire presentation.
Welcome Trisha Dellis! We inducted Trisha into our club at last week's Social Mixer and once again enjoyed her enthusiastic presence. We are thrilled to have Trisha's enthusiasm and shared commitment to youth of our community as demonstrated in her leadership as Superintendent of the Nevada City schools.
