[BC] A review of the Roadshow

[Alan Alsobrook]

I've now been to my 3rd roadshow, This time in Orlando. It was a nice 
time I enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how things would go with Bruce, Larry, 
and myself in the same room, (we all three had differing opinions on 
lightning protection in a long thread), and we all three did discuss 
lightning in a calm and dignified manner after the show. I think what we 
found out in the face to face is that we weren't as far apart as we 
thought we were. Bruce and I are both in an area where we do get to test 
our lightning protection theories on a regular basis. For me the most 
important reason for going was to meet others in my field.
Phil, I think you summed it up well.
PS I'm still not a member of the order of the iron test pattern. :)
