<p class="MsoNormal">Both presentations will be accessible from any device that you use to connect to the internet. Advance registration is required for both.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And, of course, you’re all always welcome to drop me a direct line at any time using any of the contact media below with your pond/lake management questions. (FYI, while I was isolated from my office phone during most of my COVID exile.
However, software updates at OSU now have my office phone ringing to my work computer. You’ll find me seated at it and eager to receive your calls during typical business hours. You’ll find me
<b>unavailable</b> approx. 1:30–3:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays through April when I’m committed to teaching duties.)<o:p></o:p></p>
