PROGRAM PRESENTATION
Don Brown
Don came to our rescue on Tuesday when our Planned Program speaker had to cancel at the last minute.
Thank you Don; for attempting to bring us this introduction to Vista, however the Computer did not cooperate and would not play any sound, even after being tested before our meeting. Don provided us with some entertaining jokes in the interim while everyone patiently waited, and then we were dismissed just a little earlier than usual.
