research for her answers...that is an absolutely brilliant idea!
Kitty...go for it! You teach all of us so much here in this forum, I
think you'd be magnificent in person!

Kitty,<br>Just a thought, but have you looked into a teaching position
with your <br>local community college? Ours just started offering
Horticulture <br>Certificates and AA degrees, and every year they are
looking for <br>lecturers. The pay is based on the degree (BS, MS, etc),
but they are <br>willing to hire folks with pertinent life experience in
the industry <br>too. You would have a lot to offer
students.<br>Cathy<br>On Tuesday, February 10, 2004, at 05:02 PM, Kitty
