SUMMARY:History After Hours: Pearl Harbor – Bob Tyce and His Aircraft wit
 h Dr. Robert C. Tyce
DESCRIPTION:Join the American Heritage Museum for a special History After H
 ours presentation with Dr. Robert C. Tyce\, exploring a remarkable and oft
 en overlooked chapter of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor through the s
 tory of his uncle\, pioneering civilian aviator Robert H. “Bob” Tyce\,
  and the historic aircraft that witnessed the events of December 7\, 1941.
  Museum Hours: 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m. | Presentation: 6:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m.
  As we approach the 85th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor\, this 
 deeply personal presentation offers a different perspective on the day tha
 t brought the United States into World War II—one told through the exper
 iences of civilian pilots\, their aircraft\, and a family forever changed 
 by the events of that Sunday morning. Bob Tyce was a pioneering aviator\, 
 flight instructor\, and co-owner of K-T Flying Service\, operating from Jo
 hn Rodgers Field in Honolulu\, Hawaii. During the 1930s\, Tyce helped trai
 n hundreds of pilots\, including military personnel enrolled in the Civili
 an Pilot Training Program. His flying school operated a fleet of small air
 craft used for flight instruction\, sightseeing\, and charter operations\,
  including Piper Cubs and a distinctive 1933 Waco UIC biplane. On December
  7\, 1941\, as Japanese aircraft descended upon Hawaii\, Tyce was at John 
 Rodgers Field when Japanese aircraft strafed the civilian airport. Struck 
 by enemy machine-gun fire\, the 38-year-old aviator became the first Ameri
 can civilian killed during the attack. That same morning\, two unarmed Pip
 er Cubs belonging to K-T Flying Service were shot down by Japanese fighter
 s\, claiming the lives of three young American soldiers who had taken the 
 aircraft on an early morning flight. During this special presentation\, Dr
 . Tyce will examine the political and economic tensions that led to Japan
 ’s decision to attack Pearl Harbor\, the planning and execution of the d
 evastating surprise assault\, and the American response that followed. He 
 will explore how the attack achieved tactical surprise but ultimately beca
 me a strategic failure\, galvanizing the United States and setting the sta
 ge for the Pacific War. At the heart of his presentation is the extraordin
 ary survival of historic aircraft connected to that fateful day. Among the
 m is the 1933 Waco UIC once operated by Bob Tyce’s K-T Flying Service\, 
 now preserved in the American Heritage Museum’s own aircraft collection.
  More than an aviation artifact\, this remarkable aircraft has a deeply pe
 rsonal connection to the Tyce family. Years before the attack\, Bob flew h
 is future wife\, Edna\, over Honolulu in this very Waco. Today\, the aircr
 aft serves as a tangible connection to the people\, places\, and events of
  December 7\, 1941. Drawing upon historical photographs\, family archives\
 , aviation records\, and personal research\, Dr. Tyce will bring these les
 ser-known stories to life while exploring the enduring legacy of Pearl Har
 bor and the extraordinary connections between aviation history\, military 
 service\, and his own family. This special evening offers a rare opportuni
 ty to commemorate the 85th anniversary of Pearl Harbor\, remember the civi
 lians whose lives were lost\, and discover how a surviving aircraft in the
  American Heritage Museum’s collection helps preserve a remarkable chapt
 er of American history. About the Presenter Dr. Robert C. Tyce is the neph
 ew and namesake of Robert H. Tyce\, the pioneering civilian aviator killed
  during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. His family’s deep connectio
 ns to aviation helped inspire his own lifelong interests in flight\, engin
 eering\, and scientific research. A physicist\, ocean engineer\, universit
 y professor\, and multiengine seaplane pilot\, Dr. Tyce built a distinguis
 hed career in oceanographic research and technology. He served as a profes
 sor of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate Sc
 hool of Oceanography and contributed to research programs supporting the U
 .S. Navy\, NATO\, and other scientific and defense organizations\, includi
 ng service as NATO’s Chief Oceanographer. His interest in his uncle’s 
 life and legacy deepened when previously unknown family records and photog
 raphs came into his possession following the death of Bob Tyce’s widow\,
  Edna\, in 2000. These materials helped Dr. Tyce reconstruct the remarkabl
 e story of his uncle’s aviation career and tragic death at Pearl Harbor.
  Combining family history\, historical research\, and his own extensive av
 iation experience\, Dr. Tyce offers a uniquely personal perspective on one
  of the defining events of the twentieth century. Important Visitor Inform
 ation Guests should plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before the presenta
 tion begins at 6:00 p.m. History After Hours takes place on the first Thur
 sday of each month\, opening the American Heritage Museum from 5:00 p.m. t

SUMMARY:History without Frostbite – Indigenous People
DESCRIPTION:History Without Frostbite Returns to the Wright Tavern Concord
 ’s best stories don’t hibernate\, and you don’t have to brave icy si
 dewalks to hear them. History Without Frostbite brings our popular history
  talks indoors to the Wright Tavern\, the 1747 landmark where militia gath
 ered on the morning of April 19\, 1775. Each 90-minute program swaps the f
 rozen walking tour for a warm seat and a lively conversation led by expert
  presenters. Last season’s programs went beyond the textbook. Black Hist
 ory of Concord traced the town’s first generations of free Black familie
 s and the self-emancipated leaders who pushed Concord\, and the nation\, t
 oward freedom. Women of Concord celebrated the reformers\, writers and art
 ists who were rewriting the rules long before “changemaker” was a word
 . Programs run at midday\, so you can make a lunch date of it. Last year\,
  $15 covered the program\, or $35 added a bag lunch from The Cheese Shop o
 f Concord. Save your seat: This winter’s dates are [DATES]. Call the Con
 cord Visitor Center at 978-318-3061 or visit VisitConcord.org to reserve. 
 Planning an outing for a club\, class\, library or senior group? History W
 ithout Frostbite can also be booked as a private program. Stay warm and le
 ave inspired.
