The most striking thing about this years schedule is that there is NO listing for the 12:30 PM lakeside talk for the second Saturday, July 22. In the past the second Saturday usually features a special big wig with a scary topic and is often just listed as "to be announced" so nosey outsiders won't know. So this has piqued our interest and we hope by July 22 someone out there will share what they know. Here is a partial list of other talks this year:
