Gibson Museum welcomes Terry Knight as its Fireside Chat speaker Saturday, July 8, at 3 pm. The facility for telling a story in a skillful and entertaining way has brought rave reviews of Knight’s talks at assorted venues throughout Lake County — not to mention a strong following for his decades of columns about outdoor life in Lake County in the Record-Bee. Knight’s interests range far beyond wildlife, hunting, fishing and the great outdoors. Since moving here in 1968, his unrelenting curiosity has led to an intriguing collection of local history. Expect stories about the lake itself, now recognized as the oldest in North America and perhaps of even more exceptional antiquity. Hear little-known facts about the mountains that surround our county. Among the most provocative, Knight had a ringside seat in all the investigations of the mysterious “caves” inside Mt. Konocti that were making headlines a decade or so ago. Or, he may again come up with surprising bits of history none of us have run across before. Questions will be welcomed after Knight’s initial presentation.
