Summary

Having Someone Dislike You

Rob Koenig

Terry related a tale of a sweet little seventh-grade kiss that was the beginning of years of torment. Peaceful resolution came decades later.

George Hast

The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Mary Alice Widness

George explained the importance and usage of vocal variety in a speech. Raise or lower volume and tone to make your points.

Al Wheeler

Back to the Drawing Board

Helen Valinski

For C&L Speech #8, Al encouraged everyone to renew their interest in drawing. Success is in the eye of the beholder. Such creative self-expression is relaxing, and like public speaking, sharing your results gets applause and constructive feedback.
