With the growing threat of the corona virus, if it causes Kirkwood College, local schools, or the restaurant to close, we will not attempt a meeting.

This mirrors our severe weather policy, where we mostly follow Kirkwood’s plan for evening classes.

Nick finished reading a classic on his list, Random Harvest.
