<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Sorry we were boring. :-) I think I recognized at least 8 people that had provided commentary previously. The audience dropped in number as the curious moved on (as we "bored" them). My observation was after sorting through
and subtracting foundation board members, and staff at the end of the session and asking others opinions on who the attendees were. If you have a more accurate number please update us.
</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Net: we certainly did not wow the audience, or attract many people. So, how are we going to reach more folks? I think that is what is most important.</font><br>
