Speaking Engagements

"Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how very successful our meeting
was. I am glad to have had the opportunity to meet you, and hope to meet
again in the future, perhaps under the same situation if you would be
interested/available.... To a person, the response to your presentation was
that this was one of the best meetings in memory, and the mission you have
embarked upon regarding dairy operations struck a resounding chord within
the membership. "
                                 --recent letter from program committee chair
