Interesting topic... I joined the Sacramento Valley chapter four years ago. So far I've passed the written, and between the business and single-parenthood I'm working on the other two tests. I'm proud to be an associate of my chapter, and I'll be even more proud when I become an RPT. In my four years I have only experienced helpful advice, goodwill, tips, and generosity above and beyond the call from the RPT's in the chapter. Several times I've run into action or repair situations beyond my skill level, and each time one of our RPT's eagerly went with me to get the job done right. I've gladly forwarded the fee to them, and learned a bunch each time. The customers were also impressed that I "called in a specialist." From where I sit, I can only imagine that friction between RPT's and serious associates has to be unnecessary and counterproductive. Dan Dannenfelser Sacramento, CA
