Dear Mary,
What a "romantic" training location - in a mountain cabin. I did do one
assessment once, with the original Optacon and the huge visual display we
sighted teachers used, that I had to run off my car battery and do in my van,
since the gentleman I was was working with didn't have electricity. But it
sounds like your cabin had more amenities!
Do you live anywhere near the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area? It would be fun to
get together for lunch or a cup of tea/coffee.
