[QCWA] A New Area on the QCWA Website

[Norm Gertz]

Bob....interesting.......as you suggested I checked out several of my 
elderly friends.....to my surprise they had all been  licensed much later 
than I was and had much higher QCWA numbers.

Shouldnt make any difference however and I will pursue it.

Remember, I will be 85 in October but  dont want you to put me in with the 
old men!!
