[nagdu] Intro

[Justin Ekis]

Hi Marion,

Thanks for the welcome. So far this list sounds like a very lively place 
to learn.

Currently I live in San Bernardino, California. I may be moving up to 
northern California in the near future. I am trying to get a job as a 
switchboard operator at Travis Air Force base in Fairfield. 
Coincidently, Fairfield is only about 40 miles from GDB in San Rafael.

It took me a long while to decide on a school. I wish there was one 
neutral source that compared the different schools. The good reputation 
of GDB and the seeing eye made those the most likely choices. I did some 
reading and settled on GDB.

I'm glad to be hear, and look forward to many interesting conversations.

Justin

>> Best regards, and let us know how things go for you.
