We just completed the Kempton conference on Saturday May 16, and all
agree that the conference went especially well. We are grateful to all
who participated, including those speakers who stayed at the clubhouse:
Kenn Thomas, Christopher Dunn and Joseph
P. Farrell. Our next WEX expedition
is to Nazca, Ica and the coastal area of southern Peru, which is planned
for July 25 to August 3. Check
our web pages for the latest schedule! Jennifer Bolm and I attended the annual Book Expo America conference
in late May, which was in New York City this year. The book and magazine
industry continues to change and evolve, with e-book formats being promoted
more heavily than ever. We continue to be leaders in our field, and the
WEX and AUP brands are more recognized than ever. Thanks for your support! Keep an eye out for repeats of the two-hour History Channel documentary
entitled Ancient Aliens. It featured myself plus Chariots
of the Gods author Erich Von Daniken, as well as Giorgio Tsoukalos of Legendary
Times.
Giorgio is a WEX member and has made visits to both the Illinois and
Arizona clubhouses. The show is apparently the most watched documentary
ever shown on the History Channel. We have just released the third installment in our two-hour Lost
Cities & Ancient
Mysteries DVD series. The latest DVD is Ancient
Technology in Central America. The first of the DVDs was Advanced
Technology in Ancient Egypt and the second was Advanced
Technology in Ancient South America. Both
of these DVDs feature me as the host with British engineer and author
Christopher Dunn as the special guest and expert on machining technology
and ancient tools. Get all three now at www.adventuresunlimitedpress.com If you will be traveling in Europe anytime soon, be sure to drop in

pages at: www.wexclub.ca The WEX Clubhouse in Katmandu, as well as the Pilgrim’s Bookstore,
are busy with the new influx of tourists to Nepal. I am currently working
on a new book about the Yeti, much of it researched on my trip to Nepal
last December. Check out the latest adventure travel news and expeditions
offered by our Nepal affiliate Adventure Pilgrims Trekking at www.trekinepal.com.
Our affiliated bookstore in Katmandu has the best selection of yeti
books of any bookstore in the world! They are the Pilgrims Book House
and Café in
the main Thamel section of Katmandu, next door to the Katmandu Guest
House. Check out Pilgrims Book House at www.pilgrimsbooks.com With the current housing crisis, it is a good time for the World Explorers
Club to snatch up clubhouses around the country. Is there a WEX clubhouse
to be acquired in your town in the near future? Maybe it’s up to
you to decide—contact us with any ideas about starting a retail
outlet or clubhouse! —David Hatcher Childress, Explorer |
The
summer sunshine is beaming down on the many green fields at the WEX Clubhouses
in the northern hemisphere, and after a wet spring, the Kempton clubhouse
is especially green. | WORLD EXPLORERS
