[Jim Barbour]

Hello Michael and List,

I will be happy to dig into this a bit and contact Sanjay.  I know one
of the VI teachers in Santa Clara county - where San Jose is.

I'll also post back here when I know more.

If anyone has questions, feel free to reply here or contact me off
list.

Thanks,

Jim - 650-714-7064
