Thanks for the heads-ups, Zack. I think I'll try to sneak over.

Question: I'm assuming you're probably taping the event, but are individual cameras allowed?

I saw Mr Griffin give a talk in Dayton a year and a half ago or so. Very much worth the drive. Mr Griffin has some great stories to tell!

darn guys...

Sorry HH...just got back from the presentation, and (as Pat suggested) Mr. Griffin did a masterful job. He's a heck of a lot sharper at 90 than I'll be at 60! Standing room only and a standing ovation at the conclusion.

Zack had the chance to interview Mr. Griffin this morning. I'm sure he'll post a few things here once he gets a chance to catch his breath.
