    Thank you sooo much for your help again! I felt like I was being difficult when I was saying
    that I did not know if I could do what you were suggesting. I was very glad (sort of) to see
    that you agreed with me that it is near impossible with only 3 wheels and 4 classes of 20-24.

    You have tons of great suggestions and I truly appreciate all the time you took in writing them
    out for me! I hope that I can be a positive addition to my department. They truly are a
    wonderful department and with so much sharing of space it just takes a lot of compromising, or
    both space and ideals on how things should be run.

    Thanks again!
