a great turnout and I think everyone had a great time. It was great to
see some brand new faces as well as regular attendees. JBuck's was

Hmmmm. This could be a great way to learn. How would this work? We meet on a
regular basis to study and work on prep tests? Or some other approach?

I have always wanted to go through this. I don't have any time but that is
the excuse I have used for the past several years and I haven't gotten

button. I'm in!!!
