Exactly, however I did not include the repeats in my binder. I kept the most recent revision and added my little notes in the margins.
Oh I get it, you probably did not notice the changes over the years.
The first editions read from right to left and top to bottom. The last revisions were in color and digital forwarded during class. And the color changed for wire size and branch size

I have that one. That’s Kimura’s wiring. I didn’t get it as a handout, Boon opened the magazine, and I took a picture with my camera!I got the dates wrong, just checked. And i was not there consistently, lost some time to family matters. I was unable to attend all intensives consecutively. Began in November 2012 and graduated in January 2017. So only five years when I cross check the dates. My binder also contains the additional handouts from my son who began with Boon in January 2009. That means originally there were way more than 9 wiring handouts.

I would mention, be careful how you handle the Trunk. Clean and sharpen your tools before you go!
Close the tweezers before you enter the tree, open when you get to the target. less damage that way. And as you said, but it bears repeating palms up from below.
Boon will notice those who care about the trees and are courteous to each other. He is very sociable but serious about his profession and the responsibilities associated with teaching and learning.
I have always taken notes whenever possible, on handouts, small coil scribbler etc. Then rewrite and expand on them when i leave class. Just my handouts over the past seven years of studying with Boon has filled a 4 inch binder. No repeats, not including my notebooks with handwritten notes. Expect a lot of verbal information as well.
Adair is right that you can learn a lot from watching and listening to his advice on other peoples trees. Each tree presents different opportunities and challenges. Plus we all look at things differently and pose different questions in the same situation.
You are right to be excited regardless of age or beverage preference. Have Fun.
