Here are some of my friends that may join us if they are available at different times throughout the year to share some of their specialized knowledge with us.
Note: These guest speakers are NOT a "Fogarty tradition" and are NOT annual expected events. I do my best to offer these special programs but I am at the mercy of volunteers who give their time and expertise and I cannot be certain of their availability or willingness to give me a free program from year to year.
