You can decide or maybe others want to share? I thought of Gary Toth when I mentioned  'old and antiquated'.

Perhaps one of you feel that you could do a good job training on one or more of the topics.   Each speaker should be prepared for a two hour presentation.  This would be a free service to mankind.
