The PFA Turns 20
From VexTab #49, by Ted Kaye (& John Hood) It’s been 20 years!

Notes on the September 2011 meeting

We had decent attendance, though we particularly missed John Hood, who was unable to attend due to health issues. Here are a few highlights, each with an illustration! Scott Mainwaring and Ted Kaye gave a brief report on their… Continue reading Notes on the September 2011 meeting
