2021 Special Spring Class with Brad D, Jerry D, Woody R, Mick C
Because of COVID, in 2021, we didn’t have a spring seminar, but instead a special outside class with 4 hours of instruction from some of our senior instructors. Here are some videos of the classes. (Boring parts and parts where the battery dies excluded.)
