​

Canals and Locks: Enduring Engineering

​​​​

After transiting over 5000 km of canals through over 1000 locks, Hugh and Becky have become fascinated with these enduring engineering systems to ‘tame the raging waters’. We will explore where and why canals exist and the almost endless variety of locks that allow boats to avoid waterfalls and even go up steep hillsides. We will take you through beautiful waterways from Canada to many countries in Europe and hopefully, you too will become enamored by canals and locks.

​​

Becky & Hugh have both retired from LLNL and now arrange talks for LLRA.​​

The Livermore Lab Retirees Association (LLRA) is an organization for retired employees and spouses of retirees of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.  LLRA is open to retirees from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, whether they are members of CalPERS, UCRS or the private retirement system of the LLC. 

We generally have monthly luncheon meetings January through November where invited speakers cover topics from science at the Lab to community topics.
