REFLECTOR: Thanks, great resource!

[Brett Ferrell]

Kurt,

I”m sorry to hear that.  I will say that we’re blessed with a very, very helpful FSDO in Cincinnati who went out of his way to help us when we had our little incident within another FSDO region, and we’ll be forever grateful… so at least it’s not all bad.  Hat’s off to Stan Faske!
