Yep.  But, I and quite a few others owe him a debt of thanks for getting our
foot in the door.

Cerritos used to offer RPG.  In fact, that's where I learned it - almost 30
years ago.  It was RPG-II emulated on a DEC-10.  The instructor (Howard
Andrews) hired 6 of us from his class to go to work for him at an IBM VAR
way back when.

Brad Ford (http://i400tech.com/) has been involved in it for some time.  It
is sometimes difficult to get enough enrollment to justify/hold the classes.

I see the only listing for CA is:

     CERRITOS COLLEGE
     Long Beach, CA
     Course offerings: IBM i Administration, CL Programming

Which makes me sad... Long Beach is probably a 10 hour drive from where I am
at, and only offering Admin and CL programming.  Sure would be nice if there
were more, closer.  Of course, it's also difficult to go to class when you
work full time; which my office would support only if it was related to our
business.
