Excellent, Mike. The best of luck to you with this talk. Wish I could be there...

Wow, Mike. I just looked at the site for the former library. That's a tragedy that the building is not being used. Carnegie was a remarkable man. As stated, he gave money to libraries throughout the world. The Enoch Pratt Free Library here in Baltimore was one of them. He might have been what they call a "Robber Baron" but he did some good works. . . .

Hi Chris, it's a beautiful building and I am very honoured to be given the opportunity to speak there. I hope my lecture not only opens people's eyes to the connections that the City has with the case, but also draws more people to this fantastic building.
