Tomorrow night's lecture will be by Ray Petering, ODNR-Division of Wildlife, Lord over all Ohio's Fish. Ray is a great guy and comes to his position from a long and illustrious run as a field biologist for the Division. I'm really looking forward to it. Feel free to join me at OSU's Kottman Hall. You can ask questions and interact with the speakers from the remote site.
