I gave my presentation to a club back on September 3. They'll remain nameless - it doesn't matter who they were. At times during the show, I felt like Rodney Dangerfield - it was a rough crowd. I know my timing was a little "off" due to my wife's recovering from an emergency medical problem. But we did work AO-51 from the parking lot right before the meeting ... I had my club-specific trivia questions all prepared ... the presentation SHOULD have gone well ...
Well, I just chalked it up to the law o' averages. I mean, Give the presentation, say, ten times, and there'll be one group that isn't as receptive as they should be (grin).
I forgot about that night - until I received the email reprinted below last night. I am almost ashamed to post this. In my mind, I thought I had somehow failed the group. This post is not to glorify me and what I am doing - I mean it to be a "keep working at spreading the gospel of AMSAT" to all of us - no matter what silly little setbacks may occur.

Hello Clint
Thanks for the great AMSAT presentation at our club on 3 Sept. 09. And the demonstration of tracking and working an amateur satellite was very spectacular. The members are still talking about it. I hope you continue to give this lecture to various groups, it is one of the most viable ones that I have seen.
I made a dvd of your lecture and finally got it completed. Graphics on the top thanks to my son Eddie, our resident computer graphics person. I would like to send you a copy and was wondering if you were ok in QRZ at : 5085 Trail Canyon Drive, Mira Loma, Ca. 91752-1685 ? If this is ok, then i will mail it to you. Thanks again.
