Hi again,

Actually, Dr. Rimas went to co-pioneer one of the two
Milwaukee chapters somewhere at the close of the 90s.
I think 1997 or 1998. But it's already been like 3 or
so years since he split altogether.

The word was that he is focusing a lot more of his time
into his research. He has begun to attend a different
local church in his area. He's also heading a children's
ministry in that church.
