Hi Bert, Sounds like you have developed a good way of getting a class off to a solid start. I am sure it is very interesting the first day when some of your students start to wonder who this person is and how did I get myself involved in this course. For those that come back the second time you know they are serious and that you are going to have a great opportunity to share your expertise and life experiences with them. I am sure I would really enjoy one of your classes because you are the real deal when it comes to a person with experience to back up the theory that is being taught. Gary
