Speakers:
Dan Piazza, curator at the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum
Andy Strasberg, co-author of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game: Baseball’s Greatest Hit”
George Boziwick, retired Chief of the Music Division of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, and co-founder of the Red Skies Music Ensemble
Nancy Faust, retired organist for the Chicago White Sox
