Frank Stamford presented on the following subject:

A 1968 Jet Search for Steam

The introduction of “Pacesetter” fares for under-26-year-olds in 1968 made international air travel much more affordable. This presentation will include some highlights of a fifteen-week trip which took advantage of those fares. It will include Indonesia, western Europe, and South Africa. The emphasis will be on Java, which was a mind-boggling journey into the unknown; and some characterful narrow-gauge railways.
