It appears that "get-person" returns a list of lists.

I could point out what look like stylistic problems with the code, but 
first you should say why "get-person" returns a list of lists.

Also, if you wrote this code, yet need it explained, I suggest backing 
up.  Start DrScheme, type shorter expressions of the code, and see what 
they do.

For one thing, you need a "," or ",@" in front of the "mod".  Look up 
"quasiquote" in the documentation, which is what that backquote 
character is shorthand for.
