A Good Start
I already heard back from one of the professors. This professor knows me pretty well, and for some reason has a good opinion of me. He is currently on a sabatical and will be back in town early January. His email was very positive, and he had even suggested a direction of research that might be of mutual interest. He has asked me to meet him once he is back. I think this is as good a start as I could have expected. I am oh-so-relaxed now. I can sleep in peace tonight.
