  1. Stephanie Cohen is amazing - so very opinionated - so very smart. I've heard her twice and would drop everything to hear her again. She's terrific. And, she gives great notes so you know where you can get the stuff she talks about.

  2. Barabarapc,
    I'm told, by the director of the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, that she's one of the best speakers he's ever seen and is a laugh riot. I'm looking forward to it.
