Diane - The closest FFF club is 2 hours away, the closest TU is 2.5 hours away, and the closest college that could possibly help me is 2 hours away! Heck, the closest McDonalds is 2 hours away!!! We're pretty remote up here in extreme N California. I contacted the closest FFF club when I started the class two years ago and no one returned my call or letter, then I contacted the FFF club in Redding CA and had a guy verbally commit to have his club help me, but he bailed on me and I haven't heard from him since. I get by teaching it by myself, but I am going to try a new approach this year. I have some of Kauffamn's books on how to tie flies, and I've got Al's instructions here that I can print off, so I'm going to run some copies for the kids and see if that helps at all. I can show the how to's from Al on my computer projector, but the different tying speeds of the kids make that kind of difficult.

Thanks for the help again!
