Hello Jim,

Fantastic! Thank you so much. I'm so glad you replied so promptly, and I
think it's absolutely terrific that you know a VI instructor in the area.
You are awesome!

Warmly,

Miguel Mendez

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
