The Goal of the Delaware River Project
The goal grew out of an art show which began seven years ago to look at the Delaware River through multiple artistic perspectives.
We plan to expand the collective vision through historical and scientific viewpoints and publish a book or magazine which coincides with the 400th anniversary of Hudson’s discovery of the Delaware Bay in 1609.
We are seeking contributions both intellectual and financial from individuals and organizations who wish to support the project.
The Project Committee:
History Editor, Mr. Al Hall. Art Curator, Mr Edwin Havas. AWS Art Editor, Mr. Dan Sladich. Science Advisor, Dr. Frederick Swarts. Recreation Editor: Ms. Ninabeth Metcalf, Project Development, Mr. Robert Sayre.
Steering Committee: Mr.Rod Cameron, Mr. Ken Metcalf, Ms. Ninabeth Metcalf, Ms. Rosangela Cameron
