  2. Kimberly, I will work with Ida Marie Miller the new editor, and see if we can actually post it here on this website under the Photos/Audio/Video tab above. If you go there, you can see we’ve posted some from past Annual Meetings, and I’ll try to post the talks from this September meeting as well. – Kevin
