Jockey Club opens up again this Friday
Here’s the announcement:
We are back at to the Peter Easton again this Friday for a JC session. June 7, 5:00 PM.

It is not a dense read (I do worry that some of the top sentences of the page may have been cut by the scanner but again, it’s straightforward)“
The essay is now available for download at the following link:
