We would like to thank Ronda Randall for taking the time to join us at the Community Center last Friday. It was an educational and engaging conversation about DNA testing. If you weren't here, you missed a fascinating presentation on how DNA can not only help people find their relatives but also resolve cold cases. We learned how DNA testing helped identify the perpetrator of the Allenstown, New Hampshire murders after nearly 40 years—truly fascinating!
