<DIV>I hope the presentations are being streamed again this year. I enjoyed
being able to watch last year. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It'd be good to see Richard Diehl via Long Distance... by the internet
version of Picturephone.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>And source tells me that there's something special in James O'Neal's
presentation about "Granny" Klink, the former CE of WTOP, Washington, D. C.
It might color your thinking about early TV.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps someone can post some video of and from Chuck Pharis's working
TK-11/31 camera chain that's on display along with these fine examples of TV
history:</DIV>
