Lance will be here to introduce his true story of the two courageous pioneers that championed the use of the Global Positioning System of the US Defense Department right here in New Hampshire.

"Sacred Skies: The Quest" reads like a Tom Clancy techno-thriller combined with the legal intrigue of a John Grisham novel, only the story really happened - right here in NH! Out of work ex-Sanders employees pioneer the use of GPS for navigation and surveillance at Manchester Airport. Their work led to several US patents that helped define the 21st century aviation infrastructure.

Please join us and learn more about this amazing local story. "Sacred Skies: Or, Playing Frisbee in a Mine Field" is available in paperback for $29.95.
