"Jean-Michel Cousteau to Give Quest Lecture
The ocean explorer, environmentalist and educator will present "The Great Ocean Adventure" on Sept. 21.

This fall, Elmhurst College will welcome oceanographer, activist and explorer, Jean-Michel Cousteau to deliver its annual Quest Lecture.

His talk, titled “The Great Ocean Adventure,” will begin at 7:00 p.m. Sunday, September 21 in Elmhurst College’s Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel. Admission is free and the public is welcome. As reservations are not required, seating is limited and available on a first come first served basis.

For more than four decades, Cousteau has used his vast experience to communicate his love and concern for the ocean. Since first being “thrown overboard” at age seven by his father (ocean explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau) with newly invented scuba gear on his back, Cousteau has been exploring the seas.

He spent much of his life with his family exploring the world’s oceans and founded Ocean Futures Society (a non-profit marine conservation and education organization) in 1999 to carry on the pioneering work of his parents.

An experienced filmmaker, Cousteau has produced over 70 films, and has been awarded the Emmy, the Peabody Award, the 7 d’Or (the French equivalent of the Emmy), and the Cable ACE Award.

Named to honor the late Elmhurst alumnus Roland Quest (an engineer, Class of 1936), The Quest Lecture brings outstanding speakers to Elmhurst to present new ideas and contribute to the intellectual vitality of the community.

Previous Quest Lecturers include Sally Ride (the first American woman in space), Anna Quindlen (author and journalist), and Robert Ballard (discoverer of the wrecked Titanic).

It seems to me I saw my friend Jean-Michel give a talk there back in the early 1980's when I was doing a consulting job in the Chicago area. Could it have been the same lecture series?
