In Memory of : William M. Gray

 

The Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce is sad to announce that Mr. William (Bill) M. Gray passed away on Wednesday evening, October 26th. Bill was instrumental in getting the chamber reorganized back in 1987 and served as its first president through March 1988. Bill will be greatly missed by all those who knew him. He was a diligent servant to the citizens of Wetumpka and Elmore County having served in many different leadership positions of various governmental and civic organizations. When Bill Gray told you something, you could put it in the bank because he followed through on any project he was assigned. Leadership of his caliber is hard to find now adays, so it is no wonder that the chamber honored him by selecting him to be the 2005 Community Involvement Citation Recipient. What is more, we at the chamber will miss his friendly face and passion for making Wetumpka, the Better Place to Live!!

Crater Lecture

2/2/2012

7:00 PM until

Sponsored by: Wetumpka Impact Crater Commission and City of Wetumpka

Dr. David King Jr., Professor of Geology, Auburn University, will conduct a free public lecture on the science of the impact crater in Wetumpka on Thursday, February 2nd at 7:00 pm in the Wetumpka Civic Center, Main Street, Wetumpka. This is an excellent opportunity to hear how scientists have proven the size and scope of the impact and get an update on Dr. King’s most recent research. This lecture is an excellent complement to the tours scheduled for Saturday, February 4th. Wetumpka is the site of the greatest natural disaster to ever hit Alabama, a large meteor strike. It created a five-mile wide crater that is still visable near where the city now sits. This happened over 85 million years ago near the end of the “Age of Dinosaurs." First discovered in the mid 1970s, a crater or astrobleme, meaning “star wound” was confirmed in 1998 by Dr. King. Because the location was covered by a shallow sea at the time of impact, scientists have declared it to be one of the “best preserved marine impact craters in the world."
