I'd be honored to answer your questions. E-mail me directly at scopist@charter.net. You'll find I'm not a "normal" scopist however since I started in the 1970s.

Hi, Samantha. Thank you for contacting me to help with your research. As much as I would love to help you, you might want to consider asking someone with more experience. I completed a scopist training course back in October 2008, but decided to take some time off after my retirment, so I haven't actually worked for a CR yet. I'm in the process of reviewing the course again, and plan to start working very soon. You can contact me by email at jlong32@yahoo.com, and I will do my best to answer your questions, but if you decide to go with someone more experienced, I completely understand. Best of luck to you!
