Hi Al,

Thanks for the list of program topics.
And thanks for reminding me that it may be better to
focus on only one aspect of our avocation, as opposed
to "shot-gunning" the audience with a topic such as:
"Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Meteorites".

Groups that have asked me to give a talk usually ask
me to "just talk about meteorites". Lucky for the
audience I decided to narrow down the topic to:
"History of California Meteorites"
(that talk gets longer every year), and another on
"How to Metal Detect for Meteorites"
(that group kept hearing me mention the name John
Blennert over and over again... ;-)

their ideas on various talks or programs that we
present in our communities. It might be a way to
generate some ideas for those of us wanting to present
something new and interesting at future programs. I
thought I would list my ideas first.
