Without a doubt, this project could never be served better then Gerard and his son's excellent work. 

My thanks as always go out to him and our observers for their efforts in the MAP program for both past and                                        upcoming future contributions.  

Changes for the MAP webpage are in store for 2007. With my ISP was sold (pending, really) it seems my Verizon pages and e-mail address will move along to something or other this year. The links above will appear at current and future site of course.
