  1. Glad to see Opus Dei is still going. I helped run it beginning way back in '95-96.

  2. There was a hiatus the past couple of years - but I hope we can make this a yearly think to help keep it up.

  3. I am also rather surprised to see that it still continues, although glad to see such is the case. We brought in some good speakers during my time of involvement with Opus Dei, including the infamous Walter Otten session.
