Looking forward to this MPSA panel in honor of Scott McClurg
I know it is still a way out from MPSA, but I wanted to make sure as many people see this as possible. On Friday, April 4, at 11:40 a.m., there will be an In Memoriam panel for Scott McClurg. A lot of folks knew and loved Scott and this is an opportunity for us to celebrate his life and career.
