He will speak and answer questions on November 12 at 3 p.m. at the Good Samaritan Society auditorium at 3011 Buena Vida Circle.

Anyone interested in art law is welcome to attend this free lecture. No reservations are required. For more information, contact NMWS Program Director Beverley Pirtle at MsBevPirtle@comcast.net.
