Adventurer James Stephen Fossett (April 22, 1944 – September 3, 2007) was a confirmed member of the Explorers Club, and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, but it has long been rumoured that he was also a member in good standing of our sister organization the International Society of Ancient Mariners and Lost Navigators. (more details on their blog Steve Fosset Memorial )The Society has decided to commemorate Fosset's many accomplishments with a memorial to be constructed near where a hiker found Fossett's crash site in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The Panamerican Mountaineering and Culinary Association has been asked to lead an expedition to erect the monument sometime in 2009.
