Barry, You must have forgotton to put your name on the end of the one post 
that I looked at so I didn't know who (by name) to reply to.  Small mix up, 
disregard.  Carlyle is not too bad but doesnt compare to Tahoo or Oakland, I 
would go that route.  You can go to asa.com and locate schools all over the 
country.  Bob
