FJDUFF wrote on Mark Maleski's profile.
Regarding SAPFM ZOOM Meetings, are past meetings available on the SAPFM site. I find that I have a grandson conflict with Chris Storb's scheduled meeting on May 16. I really respect Chris and I hate to miss the meeting but duty calls. The technology should be there: I'm a member of Historic Annapolis and their ZOOM meetings are available.

Thanks so much for considering my request.
