Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County will host Dave Shafer, who will discuss his long and productive career in high-tech optical design, relying on a blend of imagination and calculation to create new designs and inventions.  Shafer holds over 200 U.S. and foreign patents covering a wide range of optical designs.  His simplest was for a new kind of stereo viewer for Salvador Dali to go with the stereo painting that he had created.  Other designs were used for top-secret spy satellite cameras, a new way to detect Russian submarines, and a new type of telescope sent to Saturn.

This meeting is free and open to all.   Register at www.bit.ly/OpticalDesignandCreation  to attend in person or to receive a link to participate online.

You are encouraged to arrive at the Wilton Quaker Meeting House at 6:30 PM for socializing, pizza and salad before the program starts at 7:00 PM.
