Daniel O'Khorn was our guest speaker this week. As is usual when Dan visits with our club his presentation was filled with thought provoking commentary. The audience participation was at a high...and especially with the comments brought forth when discussing the level of ethics in the modern world.

Dan is always a welcome guest...even thouugh he does make us THINK...and that can sometimes be kind of painful.
