Mr. Glenn Baxter of Green River will be giving a talk on his experiences launching Athena rockets from Green River in the 1960s and 1970s. It will be at 7 PM Thursday June 25 in the basement room of the John Wesley Powell RIver History Museum, with a panel discussion with Dr. Gil Moore (via internet) and Mr. Jim Barrowman to follow. The event is free and open to the public.
Mr. Baxter graduated from Texas A&M with a BSEE (Electrical Engineering) in 1958, then reported to his first job with Convair Astronautics (San Diego, CA) later that summer. His work for Convair took him across the country working on various projects until he left Convair in Plattsburg, NY. He came to Green River to work for Atlantic Research on the Athena project in 1963 and worked there until 1976 when the Athena program was completed, then was self-employed. |
