Due to COVID-19, we held our first meeting since February. Temperatures were taken at the door and everyone seemed to enjoy getting back together. Bob Bonville gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Polynesians and their migration throughout the Pacific. The information was a small part of the research he undertook for a novel he wrote, "Voyages of Malolo."
