New Sigma Series Lecture!
In the 1950s and 1960s, traveling was a big “thing,” with jet travel becoming an even a bigger “thing.” All this travel can be made complicated by increased traffic. Take-off and Landing: It Is Important by Frank Quinto will explore this topic in a live-stream Sigma Series lecture.
