The live version of the course will debut in Bellevue, Washington, on December 9. The correspondence version will follow in 2006. <\/p>\n<p> <i>*(Photo Caption: Photo of Christine Khemis.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p> &#8220;As 77 million Baby Boomers move into their senior years,&#8221; says Khemis, &#8220;real estate is becoming a whole new ballgame.
