Alan Goldberger who presented the next-to-last session - SOLO - had, far and away, the most useful, best organized, and most entertaining presentation of the entire Conference.
Alan's presentation, entitled "Your Legal Rights and Responsibilities" was given at a time that traditionally has most attendees falling asleep or sneaking out the back. But Alan's presentation was essential information, aimed directly at H.S. officials, and laced with his unique sense of humor. Not only did he hold the entire audience, he had so much feedback he was held late because there were so many folks with questions for him. Alan's was, in all sincerity, the highlight of the entire Conference.
