Ray, you would be perfect for this.  I don't know the 1997 schedule of 
classes.  The address and phone are:  
American Sanskrit Institute
73 Four Corners Road 
Warwick, N.Y.  10990 
(914) 986-8652
Warwick is about 60 miles north of New York City.  That's where 
the residential classes are.  Short courses are given in NYC and various 
other cities.  When Vyaas started out he did everything himself, but 
now some of his students are advanced enough to take over some of the 
out of town classes, so he stays in Warwick most of the time.  I think 
your experience of Sanskrit would be the same, whether you study 
under Vyaas himself or one of his students.  
Namaste'
