Scott, Thanks for this information. What is humorous if not ironic is that VGS office is directly across the hall from my real estate broker's office (Alfred J. Dickinson, Inc.). I don't get down there often (what? my office in RIchmond?) but when I do I never seem to find VGS open at the same time. I swear it's a conspiracy! In all seriousness, the always delightful Bonnie Trainor is the office manager and administrator who will more than likely be the person answering the phone.
