Program

This month’s program features Dave Grace.  Dave’s Bio follows:

Did you know the FBI was involved in a Pizza Delivery investigation in Erie?  Was the Pizza Delivery Man a bombing victim or co-conspirator?  Do you still wonder what went so wrong with the Atlantic Olympic Park investigation?  How was the Son of Sam caught?  These cases and many more of national or regional interest were experienced, to one extent or another, by a Federal Agent with a full fifty years of investigative service.  Dave Grace, a retired Senior Special Agent for the US Department of Justice, has also performed investigative work under the US Treasury and US State Departments, often working closely with local, state and a few international police agencies.

Working primarily in bombing investigations, he also has extensive experience with serial arson, explosives theft and a number of other crimes where federal assistance was required.  His personal knowledge includes investigations of the Unabomber series, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing, an attempted bombing at the Indiana PA State Police Station and a series of about 70 fires in that town which resulted in significant property damage and two deaths.  Often because of his bomb related knowledge, he has temporarily worked under the US Secret Service on protection duties, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.  He has also provided technical advice on TV and film productions.

We will also be voting on the proposed operating budget for the 2023/2024 WSC Season.  Only Senior members are eligible to vote.

Hope to “see” you all there.
