They tell us that they will use about 15 markers. I am very new to this technical
stuff. I will send this to a friend who has been helping us and maybe he can
help. I think we just lucked out when we were accepted. I wrote their Special
Projects people sometime in March. They originally said they were not accepting
any new cases. About a month later they started asking if we were still
interested. I am not a member so I don't think that had much to do with it.
Can you think of some contacts where we could post our information?
