There were four excellent prepared speeches on this Smedley Saturday orchestrated by TMoD Fred Sadler. Three guests joined us at the La Mesa Community Center from 1 pm -3 pm.
Masami Maeda won "most improved" for her # 2 speech entitled "My experience with Japanese Immigrants" - a prescient discussion of the plight of people who are displaced and replaced when governments change and don't think through their policies. Evaluation was by Karen Woodson.
Corban Spraker's #2 speech "The entropy of life" used examples from his experience, which can cause disruption to a smoothly functioning life such as being in a hurry and putting your mind on vacation. Alec Metz was awarded "best evaluator" for his spot on assessment of Corban's excellent # 2.
Fred Sadler's # 4 speech from the advanced manual "Speaking to inform" entitled "Blood pressure - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" included an opportunity for all present to measure their own blood pressure and question the implications. Glen Woodson evaluated and Fred won "best speaker".
Glenn Woodson's advanced speech from the "Technical Speech" manual addressed "Civil Affairs:An Education and Training Model" in 8 to 10 minutes followed by question and answers ably provided by Glen. The power point presentation revealed a fascinating glimpse of Glenn's work on a very important topic. Evaluation was by Fred Sadler.
Next Smedley is March 29. See you there.

Sounds like it was a terrific Smedley - I'm sorry I couldn't attend. I'm so glad to see this going again!
