You left off Roger Jolly, Don Mannino  
and Paul Revenko-Jones

Just for the record, here are the names 
of WestPac instructors who do not 
participate (or who no longer participate):

Rick Baldassin
Keith Bowman
Steve Brady
Melanie Brooks
Mike Carraher
Dbbie Cyr
Richard Davenport
Anne Garee
Zhi Wey Huang
Bob Marinelli
Laroy Edwards
Ruth phillips
Randy Potter
Paul Rea
Mike Reiter
Isaac Sadigursky
Mike Spreeman
Carl Teel
Rick Wheeler

And I left off the names of those who 
are just selling products - another 6 or 
7 - and don't participate, like carl 
lieberman and the cybertuner team, Chris 
Brown and such, etc. etc. . And besides 
there were more there who did not teach 
this time - teach a lot , but don't 
participate on the list:

David Vanderlip
Kathy Smith
Bruce Stevens

At the National, the proportion is still 
about the same.
