It would be
better if you could get him to do the presentation with a beer in his hand after
he worked all day in the hot sun hanging radios in hurricane ravaged conditions.
Then you'll get the real skinny on what you should be doing....:-) And I'll bet
you hear him say "and I'm gonna tell you somethin" at least once. Seriously his
discussion will be a good one on this, for those of us that went down there it
was a life altering experience. We all learned a lot and we learned that there
still is good in our fellow man.
Thank You,
Brian Webster
