The Sounder’s story about the marine science lecture starring Joe Gaydos speaking about wildlife diseases was sparsely attended due to rain, cold and other unfortunate deterrents. That’s too bad, because Joe’s presentation was interesting, informative and, as always, wonderfully delivered. Good questions followed.

However, we’re lucky to have Mandi Johnson’s phenomenal report of the meeting in the Feb. 21 edition and online, where you can read all about it. How does she capture so many quotes?
