Absolutely wonderful. frank Lavin has full command of his subject and is a passionate and easily understood presenter. More like him

A phenomenal speaker with intimate knowledge of China and international relations. His foreign policy experience provided us with insights into Chinese leadership's thinking and why they make the decisions that radically affect their status as the #2 power in the world. The fact that their leaders have not lived abroad and are traditionally insular in their thinking makes China a very dangerous competitor. They may not fully realize the results of their actions, as Putin also miscalculated the West's response to his Ukraine invasion. While Taiwan is vulnerable, China should not underestimate the world's reaction should they invade.

Kimberly,
Thanks so much for your feedback. We all were disappointed in the audio during the early part of the program. Chris Tallen, one of our members and a retired audio professional visited the Classic Club in advance and had the staff provide access to the audio controls...however, the staff person took him to the Orion room, not the ballroom where our luncheon was held. The Constellation Room had a totally different system than the one he was shown. To Chris's credit, he was able to rapidly respond and get the system working properly. I guess "Murphy" is to blame!
Excellent suggestion on the cell phone announcement. I will add that to my comments in the future.
