Back in Tampa, Drew and George try out their new podcasting equipment, two new microphones and a mixer, and listeners are encouraged to give feedback regarding the sound.  Drew reminds listeners of the upcoming August 13-18 conference of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies in New York (www.iajgs.org).  George talks about family reunions and how they can be a good source of genealogical information.  Drew recommends using the GNIS service of the USGS (geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/) to locate and map U.S. locations.  And a message from a New Zealand listener leads to a discussion of a Chicago cemetery and the life of a famous heavyweight boxer.
