Hei Keith Just a note on your RPT and where they have to live thingy... We already have one RPT in this country. He lives in Oslo. I understand that there are several such instances and have already been informed from the home office this is in order. I have already taken all the preliminary tests so I suppose there is no problem in this regard. We are non - chapter affiliated I believe... there is a secretary or something like that who looks after the international RPTS.. Grin... I have always felt special... Richard Brekne I.C.P.T.G. N.P.T.F.
