Good!  I am personally glad that there's no need for FAI 
recertification this year, because I am leaving for the Baton Rouge 
contest in the morning.  After I return, I have two days to pack for a 
three-week trip to England, Scotland and Wales, returning on June 8th.  
After that I don't see the opportunity to attend a recertification 
class until the Nats.  BTW, I plan to get off the NSRCA Discussion List 
on May 18th because I don't want messages to overflow my mailbox while 
I'm gone.

Don's aside to me about the F3A Team Selection Finals is because he, 
among many, called the contest the Team Trials, which it isn't.  I 
chided him in a personal e-mail earlier and asked him to use the 
correct name.  I suppose that some call it the Team Trials, because the 
events to select the U.S. Olympic teams are called team trials.  The 
correct name for our contest is the F3A Team Selection Finals.  End of 
preaching.
