Miller said he would try it, and I'm glad to report
that it's been working just fine.
PLAY METER: Does the AMOA plan to continue
these schools in the future?
GARRETT: Yes, we will continue with this just as
long as it is successful and we are getting our
twenty students, which is the break-even point for
the AMOA. Hopefully, at a later date, we will
continue with this as the students progress and
we'll be able to go to solid state and teach
something there. I will say this, the distributors are
