"There are times when I truly love my job. Friday night's presentation of Joe Lockhart was one of those nights. He was charming, he was funny and he provided a fascinating insider's view of the strategies and forces that are shaping our country's future. The audience loved him - their respect and appreciation was palpable. I had to cut the questions off at 10 pm at which point he received a standing ovation. It was a great night- and we all look forward to a return visit. Thanks for bringing him to us."
