Scott,
Without spreading rumors or gossip, what happened to AADB? Why the re-organization and financial troubles? 

I am also in agreement that it would be great if the DB division could go to Baltimore to educate the NFB leadership. If this does happen, I can and am willing to help, as I am just a 1 hour train ride to Baltimore.
