Mary, yes, I'm now in Omaha at the Univ. of Nebr Medical Center, thus the reason I haven't contributed to the list for a few weeks -- the transition to a new working and living envirnoment was most time consuming. I'm originally from Nebraska (south central portion where my family still lives) and I did my undergraduate degree at UN-Lincoln years ago, so it is like coming home in a sense (even though Omaha has always felt like a big city). My job situation at Oregon has been a bit on the uncertain side for the past two years due to a change in leadership -- and there was very few opportunities to offer training or to emphasize why SAS is important to a research institution, esp. one of the few places of higher education at the Division I level that doesn't offer much regarding an applied statistics program of study. I do miss Oregon though as I had deep roots there as well, living almost 15 years in Eugene and Corvallis.

Thank you for your note of interest.

NEBRASKA!!! Welcome to the Midwest, Robin! What on earth persuaded you to move from Oregon to Nebraska? Not that Omaha isn't nice, it is.
