Mike Zeppegno
Mike Zeppegno has been sea kayaking and instructing for more than a decade. He was nationally recognized as the "Instructor of the Month" by the American Canoe Association in 2015. He has been presented with many opportunities to instruct and share his passion for paddling through the local Explore North Coast Kayak Club and the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center.
Mike is also a co-host for the OLLI Special Interest Group Book Club, that meets online. This club has been meeting since 2008.
Daniel Chandler
Dan Chandler has been a part of the OLLI Book Club since 2016. The club has read many great books since then, and even when books have turned out not to be great -- their discussions are. The group chooses books several months in advance and each reader will have one book chosen from two they suggest.
Dan is also a performer of ethnic music and radio host of an ethnic music show. For 40 years he performed traditional music on violin and gaida (bagpipe) with amateur groups, playing for folk dancers, in coffee shops and at festivals.
In 1992 he started the KHSU program, "In the Tradition," which featured ethnic music from around the world. The show continued for over 25 years.
