Just to clarify, Ken, in all honesty, I was looking mostly at the
banquet speech and not really the other things on the tape. Sorry about
that. I am sure Ed's advice is sound but I will speak with Dr. Maurer
about this and find out exactly how he would like us to go about
submitting requests of this nature. And I will pass the tapes on to Ed
to do with them what he can.
The quality of a recording is a very relative matter. Everyone's ears
are different. I believe the recordings were very listenable but
believe they could use some work. And, as I stated, I didn't really
have in mind submitting them to the national office. I just figured
we'd put them on our site once it's up and running.

>> I believe both speeches were done in 1974.
>> Ken Chrane "
>> I made a digital recording of the Banquet Address and the

>> Perhaps the national office could do a better job in
