Steve Fossett Memorial expedition

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.
