Dear Ms. Kruger, Please send a scanned copy of Dr. Nielson's initial application when you have a chance please. Thank you very much. ---- On Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:03:25 -0800 bme wrote ---- Yes, they are. I didn't notice that in your initial request. To request a copy of the initial application of Dr. Nielson, just reply to this email, and I should be able to scan it and email it to you after I have received it from the Department of Archives. However, to receive annual license renewal applications, you will need to make a request to Ms. Karen Silas at ksilas@albme.org and provide your mailing address. I do not know if she has the capability of sending them electronically. Carla H.
