Hi David,

I don't live in your area, however, I took a course recently through LVS Online that was really great.  It's a 6 week course that provides excellent screenshots and the instructor was great.  I was a very "novice" Poser 6 learner and the lessons provided really got me steered in the right direction.  Questions were answered promptly and the instructor was willing to go out of her way to provide answers when we were stuck.  Any questions you have about the course, I'd be very happy to answer.  I've posted the link to the course below for your convenience.  Best of luck!!
