The scheduled speaker was Kent Lund, who gave a presentation entitled "Belle Isle Model Power Boats from the 1930s - Tether Boat Racing." From 1924 to 1941, Belle Isle and Water Works Park was once the epicenter of Tether Boat Racing, where model boats were raced on a 52-foot tether cable, one at a time. These boats with their gas and steam engines were all homemade, scratch-built by the talented toolmakers and machinists of the 1924-1955 era of tether boat racing. At the conclusion of the presentation, program chairman Rick Scott presented a certificate of appreciation to the speaker Kent Lund.
