We are hoping to have a quality video of David’s presentation. Assuming we are able to do this we will post it on You Tube.
If anyone is in the area, we are requiring tickets to attend just so we can manage the crowd size. They are free and can be picked up in Waters Hall, Room 327. The office is open from 8 to 12 and from 1 to 5.
