<p>Hello advisors and best wishes for 2022. We have made it through
another dismal holiday season -- but spring will come, and with
it, a return to more normal living. <br>
</p>
<p>Andrew Clement, our most recent member, is hosting a talk on Wed.
Jun 12 with former CRTC commis. Conrad von Finkenstein. See
details below -- it will be a most interesting discussion, I am
sure. Von Finkenstein is not afraid to poke dragons.😁</p>
