Re: [GSAS-board] Video Question

Blu-Ray GSAS videos?  Wonderful.  I just got my player!

When you get the talk from last night situated, I would like to borrow that
one and the other discs I attempted to borrow before.  I'll swing by your
house.  Just let me know when the recent talk is done and I will send you
the other discs I would like to borrow too.

Erik,  you are really a valuable resource for the club.  I truly appreciate
your efforts.
