A British-born naval
architect, Sleigh, was on the 91st floor of the World Trade
Center’s North Tower on September 11, 2001.
At
8:46 a.m. an American
Airlines 767, with 92 passengers
and 15,000 gallons of jet fuel, was purposely flown into the
North Tower and
exploded.
Mr.
Sleigh will share his
experiences of that day and his
escape from the worst terrorist attack in United States history.

Sereana Dresbach, PhD
Program
Presenter
Will present the economic
impact on Ohio Agriculture, and the
November ballot options, as the Humane Society of the US (HSUS) comes
back again with an attempt to change the
animal husbandry procedures in Ohio.
If
the HSUS succeeds, Ohio's agricultural economy could be in jeopardy.
We, as a
grass roots organization, should be seriously involved in
this.
Dresbach is
articulate, expressive and humorous as she presents a topic which has
serious implications for the economy of Ohio.
