Hello,
I have received several positive emails regarding my comments below.
I’m curious to hear from those in charge of various historical societies and
organizations. What is keeping you from taping and preserving these talks
and presentations? Perhaps something could be done to overcome any obstacles
that you face. Is it lack of technology? Copyright issues? Some other
concern?
Thanks,
David E. Kane

I so agree...and if the lectures/presentations were filmed/taped, a revenue
stream would be created...they could be sold to all of us who cannot get to
the meetings.
