Gordon,

Yes, I was thinking of the list I have gotten in years past, which you
mentioned, of all the AGs with their geographic specialties. I didn't
realize that they didn't provide that any more, but that's logical since
they no longer grant accreditation. I didn't mean to imply that they would
recommend any specific person.

Thanks for clarifying this.
