Subject: re: Sonar Meeting
Good morning
The exhibit needs a sonar expert and unfortunately that's not me. Rick was the perfect guy for the periscope exhibit, and I've Cc'd him, but I don't think he has any sonar experience. The "learning goals" are what an interactive exhibit needs, and the periscope exhibit is wonderful, certainly in part with Rick as an interface.
I think Cliff can check with the Friends asking for a member who might be interrested. He can also email a request to the Sound Lab Googlegroup for a volunteer sonar expert.

Subject: Sonar Meeting
Good Morning Roy:
Hope this finds you well. We are working with Boston Productions on the new sonar game/exhibit. They’ve asked us to come up with some learning goals. I was hoping to meet with Rick and yourself to discuss. Sam can
arrange a time for us to meet. Please let us know if this is something you could help us out with. I don’t have Rick’s contact information, so if you could share or speak to him regarding this project, that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Brian W. Flaherty
