When Dr. Robert Kiger retired from his practice of cardiology in Camden, his interests turned to writing poetry, a novel, short essays and researching various topics of neglected interest.

His talk and slide presentation -- "The Wizard: A Man History Almost Forgot" -- will demonstrate how the life and contributions of an unusual man have given us most of the comforts and accustomed necessities for our daily life, plus some interesting intrigue surrounding this historical figure. Kiger encourages anyone interested to attend this presentation "and find out who is The Wizard!"
