>PS  As you can imagine Guy Nichols left a huge hole in this area.  If any 
>experienced RPT's are considering "retiring" to the sunny southwest I would 
>highly recommend this fast growing community.  Currently there are no RPT's 
>in Southern NM and the one active RPT in El Paso, TX is moving to KY.  This 
>is an art-oriented area with 2 large universities (one of which insists on 
>concert experienced RPT), 2 symphonies, many community concert 
>programs/institutions, etc.
