Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 That was a nice compliment and I do appreciate it. I did teach Biological Science laboratory for a semester or two during my senor year in college. And I have given my fair share of talks while providing in services for hospital personnel on Organ, Tissue, Eye Donation for Transplantation during my 15 years in the field. If I had a dime for each talk I have given I may be able to retire early.
