[Geysers] Grand Geyser - ten bursts?

[JOHN WARNOCK]

As the subordinate Warnoxious brother, (I can see Heinrick grinning as he 
reads this, after all he is the one who gave us that endearing name) I must 
confess that at 8 years old it seems as though we waited 3 days.  My most 
vivid memory was of George Marler encouraging us to wait.  As I recall, the 
most bursts I saw were a mere 9, but at my age I could be wrong.  Is it 
Memorial Day yet?
Go Giant;
John Warnock
