Family doctor/medical researcher/forester/conservationist, Roger Rosenblatt, MD, MPH, MFS, will reprise one of the most popular lectures from past courses, updated for this year. Dr. Rosenblatt will present "The Sociology of the Rural Northwest (and other smallish places)" at the Rural Class this year on May 9, 2009. He will give his talk at the Public Utilities District office in Okanogan, outside Omak.
