His last name is Boyer. I think that's how you spell it. He's in PQ of the 56. I only saw him twice. I guess he wrote a book, and is very active in the reptile community and yes I'm sure the talks are open to anyone. I have never gone. I think I saw the announcement on the SDTTS site last month. I don't know who Julie is but I may have seen her on here or other forums. I will look her up.
