I sat the exam during the period that we weren't supposed to study.  I don't 
recall my score being signifuicantly better or worse than first exam. 
Studied some for 3rd exam, again no significant difference in scores(all mid 
to high 80s).  I depend on JHL and what ever conferences that i can get to 
to keep me current.  I'm not sure what this proves or disproves about taking 
the exam every 10 years.  Maybe next time when I am 75 it will make a 
difference LOL.

I was appalled to read all the different reasons why it is cheaper to take 
exam for recert because of cost, in general. We have a local chapter, 
distance is not an issue and good speakers abound in our area.  I'm  mad at 
myself for not considering how lucky I am to live in my little Delaware 
Valley bubble where we have so many opportunities for cont. ed. besides my 
chapter.

 I think the Dutch Assoc has such a neat idea for distance learning.  I've 
also participated in Gold for 2 years and that is really a bargain.

The up shot of this good discussion on Lactnet is it has raised my awareness 
of the struggles in far flung places.  Gee whiz, 12 LCs in all of Norway!  I 
think there are 12 in my county!
