<HTML>Hi list, I have been tuning since the mid seventies,and have a sucessful rebuilding buisness.I am a staff technician at a college,and get calls all the time from RPT's in our chapter on various subjects.While I am still learning every day,myself and other associates I know (Roger Jolly who I took a class from in Chicago for one),should not be labeled as beginners,because of an associate status.I have not taken all the tests,although I did take the written in Chicago (passed),and plan to take the other two this year.I myself would like to see more advanced classes,as I'm sure other associates would as well. Best, Hazen Bannister</HTML>
