Jim,  John really beat me up on this one got me down on pricing, but then
he will put 10 or 20 in it so it's always good to help him out and his
clients. We always have some retrains come through. If they show another
gas blenders card we cut them a break.  If Greenleaf wants to drive up, i'm
sure we can issue a scholarship for him. 

There are no dumb questions, just ........... well you know .....

As to retraining IANTD folks, i think thats a bit harsh. Sure there are
some PADI, IANTD, TDI, GUE, ANDI, NAUI, PSA, BSAC, etc. instructors that
really are bad and have slipped thru, but from where they stand, they dont
know better as of yet. And there are many PADI, IANTD, TDI, GUE, ANDI NAUI,
PSA, BSAC, etc. instructors that are exceptional in thier specific areas of
expertise. All we need to do is keep making them better one step at a time.

Regards,
Joel Silverstein
