[Note: about 54 minutes in there is some major distortion in the audio recording that we didn’t notice during the recording process. Since Dr. Jorgensen’s comments are still discernible, and very important, we decided to keep this in, but be aware of this, and feel free to skip ahead 6 or 7 minutes if it’s beyond your ability to endure :-) ]
