Posted on October 23, 2012 by Society President

Sorry it has taken so long, but I finally had my husband put Daniel Bucko’s September 8th presentation to the PGSNYS on Youtube:

The day of the presentation, we were having issues connecting to Daniel.  His face is blurred out but you can hear him great.  My husband does put a picture of Daniel on the screen so you can see what he actually looks like:)

Many thanks to Daniel Bucko for his wonderful presentation, to David Newman for making this happen and for my husband Gene’s technical assistance.

Thanks!
