Adventure is in his DNA

Bill Rom will be speaking about his memoir "Adventure Is In His DNA."  It began at NYU/ Bellevue in 1989 in the midst of a TB and HIV epidemic followed by prior jobs founding the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health and NIH.  It includes environmental lung disease, lung cancer, WTC dust, Hurricane Sandy, Climate Change, canoeing, skiing, and mountain climbing.  It has 14 chapters interspersed with 15 major expeditions, 400 photos and 20 watercolors by Holly.  There are several chapters on growing up in Ely, the canoe outfitters, Ely Memorial High School, all of the lakes in the BWCA and Quetico, all of the rivers flowing north to Hudson Bay, across the Barren Lands, and to the Pacific. It is massive at 765 pages!
