<div id="ygrps-yiv-887070013"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;    Mike, this is  indeed good news...and impressive!  Certainly, it will<br/>
&gt;be a &quot;good old buoy&quot;  for Lake Okeechobee!  (Thanks again, Kate!)   Bill<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>hey  bill<br/>
<br/>
& arif too<br/>
<br/>
it keeps getting better<br/>
<br/>
first of all<br/>
i just learned iliamna actually means  great lake  or great ice<br/>
oops<br/>
so maybe i can slide out of that one too<br/>
<br/>
& okeechobee<br/>
  which translates merely as  big water<br/>
may & perhaps should be restored to its former semigrandeur & quasicapacity<br/>
as the greatest nongreat lake in america<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
more to the point tho<br/>
for purposes of searching all 3 major florida newspapers on microfilm for<br/>
the critical year 1963<br/>
the florida department of state library conveniently situated in<br/>
tallahassee has just interjected itself as the next logical step & stop on<br/>
our increasingly strange procession to the heart of quintistardom<br/>
<br/>
  otherwise no leads or clues within entire system<br/>
    per my very capable research contact there<br/>
      a surprising nonturn of events really<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also  arif  i cant help thinking<br/>
now that we are bound for tallahassee<br/>
maybe you really do know something prescient about our bumping into kate<br/>
&or jeb there too<br/>
<br/>
i sure hope so<br/>
<br/>
&  bill  i imagine you may also be scoping it out or dreaming it up from<br/>
your local vantage point above ground zero there<br/>
<br/>
in any case i would love to arouse some local or even official interest in<br/>
our project<br/>
& wonder if you guys or anyone has some extra angle to play or string to pull<br/>
now that we are looking real<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
if it warms up to snow tomorrow<br/>
i will do my bit by going out to find a new weight for anchoring the buoy<br/>
<br/>
  jettisoned the cinderblock last spring to save gas<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
from dormancy & hibernation our inaugural is stirring<br/>
<br/>
