Thanks for the info.  What date should I show up at the center with my
luggage?  Where do I go to unpack my stuff?  What should I plan to bring?
Can you tell me what my initial schedule will look like so I can tell my
kids when I might be able to come home for a visit?  What course materials
do I need to bring?  How much is CCB actually going to charge me then?  Do I
need a physical or anything like that from my doctor?  As you can see, I
have many questions I need answers to.  Can you please ask Julie to call
mee?Thanks.
Becca

Rebecca,

Julie said you are starting after Washington Seminar, and we're looking
forward to having you as a student!
