Speaker: Darren Walton

Please join your fellow Companions for the Monthly Speaker Luncheon at the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club. As always, we will start with our Social Hour at 1100 with the Program beginning at noon. Discounted parking is available at the garage at 721 Filbert, just on the other side of Columbus Avenue.

We will be joined this month by author and Marine Darren Walton who will share with us his experience with the 1st Marine Division Force Reconnaissance at Camp Reasoner in Dan Nang in 1969 and 1970. His book, “Di Di Mau: Tigers, Rock Apes, the Jungle . . . and War”, which will be available for purchase at the luncheon, describes his experience behind enemy lines and the heroic efforts of the helicopter pilots who came to extract them. It also discusses the surreal experience of coming home to Marin changed to an unchanged world. The book and his discussion of his experience are as relevant today as they were in 1970.

  So come join us and enjoy the Company of your fellow Companions in our last month in summer attire!
