COMMENTS FROM GRAA'S PRESIDENT, DR. PIEPER:. At our May lunch, Bill Davenport, a longtime retiree from Code 585, gave an interesting talk about his experiences as an author trying to get his book published, in particular about the system known as POD - print on demand. Several attendees bought copies of Bill's mystery novel, "Dragons Die at Dawn".

NOTE: Due to prior commitments and the change of GRAA's Luncheon date, Dick Baker a GRAA Board Member, has agreed to substitute for Dr. Pieper. Hopefully, a speaker will be lined up prior to the June meeting.
