HOWB 067 – Interview | Diana Hennick, Visitor Services Guru at the Center for Wooden Boats
Summary: PODCAST SHOW NOTES Diana is a NOAA brat - her dad was a commissioned officer in the the NOAA Corp and met her mom - a civilian deckhand - on board a research vessel in the Bering Sea. Diana was born in San Diego, and lived in Maryland for a few years before her family settled in Seattle. After getting her undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Western Washington University, she had the rare opportunity to do an internship at the Maritime History department of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. This was a home run museum experience so Diana enrolled and completed her graduate degree in museology at the University of Washington. After graduating, she worked for 4 years at the Northwest Seaport in Seattle where she had done her Masters Thesis on the historic tug Arthur Foss. Northwest Seaport's mission is to preserve maritime heritage thru large craft such as the Arthur Foss. Next stop was the Center For Wooden Boats where Diana is the Visitor Services Manager today. She loves her role of finding creative ways for the community to interact and engage with the Center as an outdoor small craft living museum. Diana loves her parents sea stories and has taught sailing in the San Juan Islands. Click on green player button above to listen to the interview and find out more about Diana and her adventures.
