This documentary tells the story of four men men who survived 119 days adrift at sea in an upturned trimaran. John Glennie's boat Rose Noelle capsized in the Pacific in June 1989, and washed up four months later on Great Barrier Island. Director Mark Beesley mixes raw interviews and spare reenactment to convey the physical and emotional ordeal; the quartet were sometimes trapped inside a cramped section of the boat for days on end. The epic survival-at- sea tale won Best Documentary at the 1997 TV Awards. The story was later retold in 2015 telemovie Abandoned.

The Veterans Garden came to life in 1999
when four Vietnam veterans suffering with
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
participated in a program that DRC designed
for them.
This program, which included group sessions,
work projects and, of course, time spent
interacting with dolphins, would form the
basis for many additional military programs
in the future.
Dolphin Research Center’s Co-Founder
and COO Armando ‘Mandy’ Rodriguez served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam
in the 1960s. This project was very close to his heart and he participated along with this group.

Sad but true stories of many older Americans who can not afford to retire.
I usually have a short attention span, this is a compelling article that I can understand and identified with. I read it all the way though to the end. As a real estate agent & started this endeavor in 2007, I have seen my fair share of homes being taken over by the banks. I have had to work on short sale & sell homes for clients who lost their jobs and no longer can afford to keep their homes. I have had my fair share of sadness seeing all the belongings left behind in the garages; family albums, children's shoes, books, clothes, boxes and boxes of stuff they no longer can take with them etc. I have so many friends who have been in these positions described in this article. This is one of the most heart breaking, real life stories & who knows how many more are out there? This is what's going on in our country, shrinking middleclass, aging poor and homelessness.
This event is rain, mud, or shine! August 13 - 15
