I'm sure we could dig up a vintage phone book from the 80's for him to
read. ;)

I was able to make a list by looking at the VCF East archives:
2007 - Bil Herd/Bob Russell/Chuck Peddle/Dave Haynie — 30th Birthday of
Commodore Computers
2012 - Commodore History Part II
2014 - CRT and video repair
2015 - Vintage Microcomputer Architecture
2016 - Growing the 8-bit generation
2017 - Surface Mount Technology
2019 - Component Aging/Heat
2020 - Commodore show and Tell with Dave Haynie

I'm saving Commodore History Part II for next year.
