Hi Kennan

"Moody Bible Institute" seem to be the organization and the exhibit is call
"Le sermon de la science" In french. That was my favorite exhibit, I was 12
year old at that time,  I saw all there show, they had many documentary and
some live demonstration about different branch of science, I thank these
people they don't convince me in the religious way but they really open my
mind on the scientific world.

Luc Benard ( Montreal)
P.S. They had a nice coil for the time.
