I've been on board with Scotland Yard, collecting evidence in Virginia, using "blood hounds" to follow your tracks. Don't be surprised if an agent comes knocking on your door. To date there is no cause for alarm; just an alertness..... No need to take your mind off your books or students...yet. Darrell,
