March 12, 2013Mr. Lang appeared at the Abingdon Library where he gave a very interesting presentation. He was informative & entertaining. He is personable & engaged the audience. He regaled us with stories about his experience as a homicide detective in local counties. We learned that real forensic & detective work is not CSI, but just as thrilling. I would highly recommend Mr. Lang as a speaker.
