Looking over the list of current GUE instructors, I noticed that the list for instructors in the US seems to have shrunk. Was there a recent purging? People not update their cards? People disenfranchised?

There seem to be more international instructors and I am happy to see that the "Global" aspect of GUE is expanding. However, I am saddened that the number of 'local' GUE instructors in the US has shrunk. :(
 
I noticed that as well.
 
The two names that jumped out (or really...didn't jump out :11:) were Joe Talavera and Delia Milliron (sp?). I'm sure there are more.
I seem to remember the list of instructors in the US being almost 2x as large as it currently is. Am I imagining things?
 
I didn't see Brandon, or Scott on the new list either.
 
What I heard was that Brandon and Scott wanted to go on to teach tech classes, and elected to do that with some other agency. I have no personal knowledge that that is true.

Joe and Delia were dropped a year ago.

I don't think the list was ever twice what it is now, but it was longer. But there are new instructors, too, and some old ones getting some additional ratings.

Too bad there really aren't any GUE instructors in the heartland, though. Makes it hard on anybody who isn't coastal to put classes together.
