    Subject:  Re: Green Hornet Presentation in Washington, DC

    I read with interest the announcement that Martin  Grams is going to do his
    Green Hornet Presentation for the Washington, DC  OTRadio club.  Gee, I
    live in central Mass., sort of a long drive to get  down to the metro
    Washington area.  Any chance this presentation could be  run somewhere as a
    text
    feature or a DVD or a podcast or something else so the  rest of us interested
    collectors can enjoy it as well?
