Comments

I am grateful to hear  Dr. Selika Ducksworth-Lawton this morning; i had the privilege of hearing her speak in Viroqua/vernon county a few years ago and i have been longing for further discussion. 

I will certainly tune in next week , but please make it possible for Professor DL to host a regular program, with guests from within the region. Reggie Jackson participated in a Viroqua city hosted event after the murder of George Floyd, he also has given at least one talk in nearby LaCrosse, sunset city.  They would make an excellent program. 

Thank you

 

Thanks so much for having me. I really enjoyed my time chatting the two of you and welcomed your thoughts and reflections!
