Delta Legend, Hal Schell passed away on June 9, 2006. Hal defined the Delta's laid-back lifestyle in books such as "Hal Schell's Dawdling on the Delta," and was best known for his long-standing Delta column in The Bay & Delta Yachtsman, and also for his Delta Map and Tide Tables.

To continue to honor Hal's life and work, a "Delta History" Display is planned to be set up in the new Discover the Delta Information Center that will soon be constructed at the foot of the Rio Vista Bridge.
