Program

Due to unfortunate circumstances, our original program for January featuring consumer advocate Mary Bach had to be canceled.  The January 11th program will now feature Dave Grace, a retired Senior Special Agent for the US Department of Justice.  Dave’s bio is as follows:

How was the Son of Sam caught?  Why did we know almost immediately where the 9/11 hijackers had flight training?  Was the Pizza Delivery Man in Erie a bombing victim or co-conspirator?  These cases and many more of national or regional interest were experienced, to one extent or another, by a Federal Agent with a full fifty years of investigative service.  Dave Grace, a retired Senior Special Agent for the US Department of Justice, has also performed investigative work under the US Treasury and US State Departments, often working closely with local, state and a few international police agencies.

Working primarily bombing investigations, he also has extensive experience with serial arsons, explosives theft and a number of other crimes where federal assistance was required.  His personal knowledge includes investigations of the Unabomber series, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing, an attempted bombing at the Indiana PA State Police Station and a series of about 70 fires in that town which resulted in significant property damage and two deaths.  Often because of his bomb related knowledge, he has temporarily worked under the US Secret Service on protection duties, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.  He has also provided technical advice on TV and film productions.

Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?  Hope to “see” you all there.
