My variable keeps losing its value

Question

Very new to Objective-C and Xcode and working my way through modifying the DrillDownApp tutorial to fit a simple project I have where I drill down through a Category table to a Subject table to a Quote table and then finally a Quote Detail view.

I use the "CurrentLevel" variable to determine which of the above levels I am on however after going through one time through the class, the CurrentLevel seems to get reset to zero. This is after the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method.

I am sure its something super simple and just need a bit of help finding it. I posted the entire class below:
