Hi, I am the person who video taped :) I attend 2 of his talks, if it is ok with Kevin, I would be happy to send you a copy. The second one has more than the back of a person's head and the 1st one you can hear all of what is said :) Jules -----Original Message----- From: Mark Twain Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kevin Mac Donnell Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 9:52 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: A date to remember Hi Rick-- I didn't save the PP images since they reproduced what was in the MTJ article, plus a few odds and ends. I doubt I'll do it again since I have something else planned for the next Elmira Conference. You might post a question to the forum asking if anyone videotaped it. One person did, and sent me a copy, but it was mostly the back of somebody's head and some audio that I could not make out. But there could be others.
