Dale, Joao usually only makes the trip once a year, to do a class in California for LUSO . He has been trying to schedule classes on the East Coast for the last two years. He also usually comes with Cheri and I to Salt Lake City for a four-day Conference. It's great because not only do you get the lectures by the three of us but we help you in the evenings at the Library one-on-one. We've had people come from Canada, Australia and many from different states including, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Washigton, Oregon, Utah, Iowa, Arizona and California. We have a really good time and we all learn a lot!
