Jay,

Thanks very much. I see from Nikon's site that there will be a 
course near where I am in June. I'm starting a different course in 
early April (at Glen Echo near D.C.; intro photo taught by an 
instructor from the Corcoran). Depending how that goes I'll keep 
the Nikon course in mind.

Cheers,

G.
