NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 24, Issue 51

[NW Mailing List]

Sorry for not signing my post. Have a new ISP and still working out the kinks. Thank you for the info on the articles. I had submitted some articles a few years ago but never heard anything back. I think it was when Geeves was not doing very well. I will try to put something together on the reroute of the Peavine. Would also like to put something together on the CPLs of the Peavine. I had documented the ones that were left. Work was from Nov 2002 through Nov 2004. Jeff Wood
