In the previous
episode of the show, you heard us get into some pretty interesting
topics with Mike Whelan, head of the Baker Street Irregulars. We
continue in this vein in Part 2, talking about the
BSI Trust, the
BSI Weekend in much greater
detail, the Dr. Watson Fund, and a very exciting contest that you
can participate in!
