Also, I would be willing to volunteer to teach Lary Hall or any one Jaws as
well. As some of you know, I am a retired AT specialist who used to work for
the Columbia Lighthouse.

well I wouldn't mind teaching you jaws Larry. If you have jaws
14, we could tandem and if you have skype, then I could
effectively teach you, with out either of u arranging for
transportation. I don't know if that's something you'd like but
the offer's out there.
