understand what you were saying. Thank you!

Hey Bill...

You might want to start with the University of Alaska at Anchorage's Department

of Psychology. The website for UAA's psych department is

http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/psych. I am quite sure that the folks there could

help guide you in the right direction.

Thanks,
