From upwind!

Most of the vets I have approached have been very helpful. There is only one guy that I call my "mentor" and he is the guy who convinced me to put on the stripes. He has attended a few of my games and given me feed back. He has been helpful in answering questions that I feel are too "dumb" for me to ask here. (although I know that's not true).

I would be willing to bet that most of the vets in your association would be willing to be a mentor. Best thing to do is to make sure your mentor is going to be someone you will respect. Don't just ask the first pretty face. Your mentor should be someone who is willing to take time with you to really be helpful.

Mike
