[Geysers] Possible sources of Oblong info

[Michael Goldberg]

As far as I know, the first reports of Oblong series were in 1988, when 
Oblong was only erupting every day or so.  There is probably a good 
summary in Phil Landis' annual report.

Scott Bryan's article on the Grotto-Giant Complex in Transactions 1
may also discuss Oblong's behavior that year.

Does anyone have these volumes on hand who can look up the details?
I think I know where our family's copies are, but I do not have ready 
access to them at the moment.

Thanks,
