I noted some names, and suggestions. It is important to keep it interesting. Think of those with a sense of humor, who also have the knowledge to answer the questions without going off in another direction. I can think of a number of people who fit that description, but it is important to select those who other people want to hear from. We can all get the information we want from the inter-net, books, and friends. But, when we go to the National, we want to have a good time and perhaps learn something as well. Just picking those with knowledge might be great for the few who want to attend a lecture to learn, but if you can find a panel that can do that, and provide some fun as well, it will make for a better attendance. I guess the first question to ask is, what is the purpose of the program? Evan L.
