[Geysers] GOSA website

[Janet Chapple]

Just an observation: David Monteith may have hard copies of some or all 
of the articles about the geysers that were placed on the Web site. It 
is always easier to rewrite with updated information than to start from 
scratch.

Barring his having them, perhaps other list serve members have 
downloaded some of the articles and would send them to Don Might or 
whoever will be doing the rewrites.

I wish I could volunteer to help with this but the days and years I've 
been able to gather geyser information are much too limited to be of 
much help, except as a compiler of information supplied by others. I 
would certainly be happy to do some of that for the revised Web site, 
using up-to-date information from gazers on site.
