  Jack,

    where are they? By professionals, do you mean "using Forth in their
jobs" or "like Forth and maybe even use it at least once in a while" or
"like the language". I don't see a large number of Forth positions
available these days -- of course I may just be looking in the wrong places
also.

Dave Ritchie - maybe the only Forther in Idaho??

  I would consider a job using Forth, but I am not too certain where to 
look....
