Good people do good things! It sounds like you're running with the RIGHT crowd. It's hard to find/meet people with good values anymore. Most folks are so G.D. greedy and selfish it makes me want to puke! That's why my "crowd" is very small. Keep the money, you tried to return it. I wouldn't worry about the "law" issue. There's so many "weekend guides" that aren't licensed but are practicing and they're not being harassed (here in the Wenatchee area).
