Thanks for reminding us of this.  I'm looking forward to his  presentation,
having missed the big conference.  I hope he doesn't  mind my bringing
binoculars - between my eyesight and sometimes getting stuck  behind VERY big people
I've decided that getting the most out of the program is  more important than
looking genealogically sophisticated!
