Hi guys do you think we should put this video grab into the presentation, it has all the right Civil War music + the cameras..

I cant comment on any of the posts for some reason (despite clearing my cookies + using another browser)

here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=ADJwAGuEnxo

also did you see the point re Ben wants no more than 3 points on each power point slide, followed by 2 slides with photos, intro music, video grabs, + something to engage the audience with handouts of some sort or another

Love the adjectives in your post Elizabeth!!
