-“Not so bright” things I tried when young and was able back then to even be able to try and what I learned from that and how it may have steered me along a career path that maybe I am not (like many others) directly doing now but instead ended up working in a somewhat related field and how I was able to bring different sort of input to that related field because of my initial career.

-The author (Norm Fine) has offered to speak to our group once it is safe to fly to Boston once the Coronovirus is under control, as he is a native of Newton. Norman was recently informed that he won an award from the IPPY (2020) for his book in World History.
+**Ranked Choice Voting (RCV)** - How does RCV work? Would it improve our democracy?
-The book describes the development of a new and advanced secret radar system that permitted the allies to penetrate through inclement weather and enable the allies to reverse the dominance of the Nazis at the onset of WWII. Blind Bombing has a warm sensitive side, in that Norman Fine’s uncle (Stanley) brought the first production model of the new airborne radar system to Europe permitting allied bombers to destroy factories supplying the German forces that were usually obscured by overcast weather
+”Question 2” on the ballot in the November 2020 Massachusetts general election will be whether Massachusetts should adopt Ranked Choice Voting in elections beginning 2022.
+This would be a presentation of how RCV works when casting votes and counting votes, with discussion of whether, after all these years, it makes sense to rock the vote with a switch to RCV, or should we leave well enough alone?
