I do recall other photos by Charlie Goldberg, but I probably chose to use Clark's photo to accompany his own article (GOSA Transactions, volume III, page 52)... Might Goldberg photo(s) have been in the Sput? I'll let somebody else search for that.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Actually, that is  Charlie Goldberg's  photo.

So now this, a matter that has been in my mind for quite some time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is increasingly evident that the "members" of GOSA (along with the other readers of these pages) really don't care much about passing along information about geysers. Oh, yes, a few do post one or two annual trip recollections. And presumably those e-mail postings are being preserved by the NPS-YNP archives. Whee. They are NOT repeat NOT being distributed in any here-and-now, and since they are nothing more than personal recollections, they are of little future value.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>_The GOSA Transactions_ was designed as a venue to preserve _analytical_ information about the geysers. But almost nobody wishes to contribute. If anything, it has been at least partially ursurped by The Sput. It is now well over two years that Transactions X has been awaiting submissions. It has received exactly one, and that was received over a year ago.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>OK. I've got other stuff in life, so I quit. Yep. As I said above, this is not a new thought to me. I encourage GOSA to seek a new editor for the Transactions. I will readily, and quickly (a fraction of a CD-ROM and/or a few seconds on highspeed internet) pass along what little I have for a new volume.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
