so this is like the AFA tests-- where you miss a question and they don't help you with the answers....
my guess is I missed #5. Is the correct answer Pat Burton (not to be confused with Rick Burten)?? I might also guess Craig Trnka, but have no idea if he has specialty endoresment with forging as opposed to Therapetic? Did a search on his name on the AFA members site and I don't even see Trnka's name though.

Shhhh ! the teacher tells the class, "no talking during a test" I could give you flags to guide you but then it would not be fair to all the others who still have a chance to be first. Its not hard to double check all the answers and deduce which one is wrong, I would think... ?? My 2 cents worth
