Hi MIke, and welcome to the forum. As Dkanger mentioned, I am in Matteson, IL .. I don't plan to teach this winter because, as Vice President Blue of the Firearm Engravers Guild of America, I am preparing for our annual Las Vegas exposition, where I manage the judging for the FEGA awards program. GRS has great instructors. Also, if you are interested, I could meet with you in March, after the Vegas show.
