Val, Thanks for those last two links. This is the first time I've ever seen them!

I'm in Bry Cox's class! I can't wait!!!!

Val - I'm registered on the forums, but it's pretty quiet in there. Maybe it will pick up as the time gets closer. Looking forward to it!

Sure thing Lori :0)

David, Yip...as you can imagine...there are only prep detail to pick up online, instructor messages, and introductory conversations right now...some folks are getting to know each other BEFORE Texas School...how fun is it to get there and meet in person the classmates with whom you have been chatting online through http://www.texasschoolforum.org/
..too cool !

Of course AFTER Texas School....close friends will have been made....and MANY MANY photos will be uploaded and traded from the AWESOME week of events, classes, and fun from Texas School at Texas A&M....

I can remember in years past, wondering where my classmates had gone, what they were up to...'cause we had lost touch. I had wondered what they did with all of the awesome instruction we all learned at Texas School. NOW we have the tool to help us better achieve all of this.

It's totally gonna rock...and this is the first year for http://www.texasschoolforum.org integration...it has really TAKEN off...WOW...You wouldn't BELIEVE how many we have had sign up....how many awesome emails we've gotten stating approval.

In this way, we are furthering the comradery, preparation, excitement and "keeping touch" after Texas School !!! Neat-o :0)
