Re: MG classes

Kitty,
It isn't as hard as it sounds to get the hours.  We can attend all the
meetings once a month for an hour or two of credit so that adds up pretty
quick... then there are seminars that you can go to at the university... I
attend the Horticulture Meetings when they have a good speaker and get some
hours there too.
As you say you spend more time than you realize learning...  even some books
and some VCR tapes can count.  You just have to do a paper on them so they
can tell that you really did read them or watch the tape.
