Yes, and from what I've heard they are fairly unexpensive. And correct me if I am wrong but you can recieve college credit for this course as well. Their website should be updating the chase page for next year sometime within the next 2 months.

Wonder if Tom Skilling From WGN In Chicago ever joins up with them? I know he does the Fermlab Tornado Spotter Classes with Ted Fuijita Every Year

Ted Fujita died in 1998.

Yikes!
I didn't know that he had died
May he rest in peace. He did the weather world quite a service!!
Well, they USED to do the seminars together then

That's ok, honest mistake. I haven't heard of Skilling ever going with them. I know it used to be only people that had previously taken a meteorology course through them could go. Now they made one available for public as well.
