All in the Family: Three Generations of Aerospace Engineering

 

This coming wednesday, March 8th, 2023 University of Denver will host a presentation in three parts, each given by men from successive generations of aerospace engineers from the same family spanning from 1950 to the present.

 

From the University of Denver web site:

Discover engineering passion across three generations from the 1950s to 2030 and beyond. Engineers Bill, Greg and Chip Bollendonk talk about achieving engineering balance to create new aerospace products, from early Titan rockets to manned spaceflight and deep space exploration programs. Learn how they apply technology and imagination to create new products and capabilities in the face of cost, schedule and resource constraints. Plus, see how their engineering day jobs overlap with automotive passion, and how they apply expertise to maintain and operate vintage sports cars.

I can't speak to whether the lecture is open to all, or only to students, but there are a limited number of seats available and the fee to attend is $25.

 

Personally, if I were able to attend, I surely would as Bill's supplementary material "Titan I ICBM Activation at Lowry AFB" (linked below) was completely fascinating to read. I was riveted as he told his story about getting the largest ICBM sites ever built ready to deliver to the Air Force on time.

Sorry for the extremely short notice but I only found out recently myself!
