Doh! - Re: [Discuss] Some likely presentations, by me

[Gordon M. Craig]

Hi Patrick!

you talked about an expert on presentations giving one on making a 
presentation. I'm no_ expert_ on such, but I did make one every Sunday 
for over 35 years. It's called a Sermon <s> since I'm a retired UC 
minister. So I could give some sort of a talk about this kind of thing; 
how to prepare, what to do if stage fright strikes, and such. Another 
important aspect of giving any presentation is knowledge of, and 
enthusiasm for, your subject. Another point: don't be afraid of 
questions, They can save your neck. By the time you have listened 
carefully to the question, answering it  to the best of your ability, 
you probably will have either returned to the track you were on, or 
found a better one, for your presentation. The more you can carry on 
without letting on you made a mistake the closer you are to being an EXPERT!

old railfans never die; they just lose track!
