(Disclaimer)
This series of 40+ lectures was an opportunity for Randall to
organize and refine versions of his many PowerPoint shows.
It was loosely formatted and presented to a casual group
that had been assembling weekly for almost three decades
in a dedicated room with their own signs, toys and models.
Occasionally there are obtrusive interjections, off-hand
remarks or other disruptions to his stream of consciousness.
Please be tolerant of this eclectic class of true characters.
The first round of presentations were not all recorded;
those that were seem to be missing after a 2010 computer crash.
I will continue searching for those early files....
ENJOY!
