Our first ARA luncheon in 2023 will be held on March 6th, in the Alcon Crossroads Conference Center (old Alcon cafeteria).  An ARA member, Tom McDonald, PhD, is returning to speak to us about his book in progress on the first 50-year history of Alcon, 1947-1997. His first presentation in June 2022 addressed the years from 1947 to 1972. This presentation, the second part, will address the 1972-1997 timeframe.

After lunch, we will move to the Schollmaier Auditorium for Tom’s presentation.
