My name is Ron Hall.
I live at the Funny Farm.

Posting this late in the day. Had a good demonstration - lots of questions. Think almost everybody in the group was older than me (a rarity at these types of things). Really enjoy trying to bring out interest in such a group. After a general (but short) demonstration of the basics of Google Earth - usually show a few things that might pique their interest. In this case it was Street View (also runs in Google Maps), a 3D model of a local landmark with links to city website, a custom kml file for the Lions Club that opens in Google Earth/Google Maps, and a Google Earth presentation on the Spokane River.

Then I play table games - ask each table to see if they have something of interest they might want to see in Google Earth. Time went fast.

Want to putter with a few things.

Have a good evening
