I was once involved in a meeting with members from all over the world (as far away as Austrrailia).

I don't recall how the interaction between members works in GTM however (who's talking, and how it's coordinated between those who are signed in).

It also provides an uplifting promise of good times at PYC and possibilities despite the ongoing issues. My morning these days has me talking with good friends in Europe listening to their stories about life in Italy, France, Germany, Slovania, Russia, etc. The airwaves are absolutely full of conversations, because most people are stuck inside. This morning I was speaking with a friend living south of Rome (attached map), and he told of entire neighborhoods working together to get through their days huddled in small houses. His radio is a great way for them to hear of outside world happenings, and much of their day is spent on the thing. Here's a first release of the deck house install production. The installation day was perfect with bright skies, and warm temps. Take a look (all). A PC with decent audio is best. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TM7gb3tWIbePeTPK8wtua_5REqNE3Lxk > On March 26, 2020 at 2:23 PM Richard Weaver wrote: > > > Pat, I’ve got Zoom Up on my desk top just need a join notice from you.
