CONGRATULATIONS!  Two accepted slides is very good, considering
that DrT only had one (Pauline told me that the quality of 
submissions was very high).  Also, DrT had zero acceptances in
his first PSA stereo competition (Detroit, 1996).

Congratulations also to Pauline for the very generous offer to
help you evaluate the best from a group of nine.  Not many people
will offer to go into such trouble....

This DrT does sound like a terrible person.... :-)  Total lack of
sensitivity towards a beginner from his side........  Perhaps better
feedback is offered by SSA folios or by the PSA slide (image?)
evaluation service.

I am glad you did well and thank you for keeping us posted!
