I'm really happy with how the meeting turned out. The Director was pointing out areas that might be issues (i.e. handwriting) and then suggesting solutions or assurances. She did this not once, but several times.

We're very fortunate. Down the road, same state, different district, it's a completely different story.

JB: Allow me to pile accolades on with the others. Sounds like you had good counterparts to work with, but the tone of reasonableness and restraint you exercise - judging from your posts on the board - must have at least biased the odds in your favor. This is a good model for those of us who are still heading into negotiations.
