[fvc-wat-disc] The Experts Discuss AV vs. PR

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hi Dave,

We will miss you tonight!  Safe travels to Meaford.  Tonight's event will
be videoed so you will be able to view it later.

Totally agree that telling your story about why PR is important to you is
the way to go.  Bardish is well versed in the mechanics, evidence and
principles of PR.

Justin did make that comment about losers but that was a number of years
ago, it looks like his thinking has evolved since then.

Take care,
Sharon
