Hi– I was away at the time of this meeting. Is there a recording available?

[Nancy More]

Kevin, will you be recording this session for people to view afterwards?   I teach until late afternoon out in the Valley, so getting home before the first 100 people may be difficult.  Thanks for your consideration.
