Once again, I'm not able to attend. Looks like I not getting to any of the marts this year. Even my local one conflicts with planned travel elsewhere. I am planning to visit Switzerland this summer while I am in Germany for family.
All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
