Winston...that would be great....If you contact Wilbur ( he should be able to fill you in on the issues of cattail monocultures on several marshes) and John Hitchcock (he has info on a lot of the marshes in the Three Forks Restoration area and about the levee at the "place we shall not name" that should not be taken down although it is in the restoration plans to do so.

Hopefully you can address the issues during "public comments" but there should be chances "off the floor" as well. I know you and others have the local situations in the northern part of the SJRWMD as well.

Do you know Herky Huffman?.....he is now on the Board and a good friend of UW-F. Bill Kerr, on the board is also a friend.

We also have a good relationship with Maurice Sterling, Projects Manager, have repaired a damaged relationship with Steve Miller, Land Manager and Robert Christianson.

John is a good contact to work with on all the issues "down south".

[N. Cook]

Jorge, I believe we have a "table" and will have to use a smaller sign, etc....I plan on bringing the stuff down Friday afternoon and then leaving it for when you can come, if that makes sense to you.


Wish we had a raffle gun!!!!!

Newton I'll be very busy Feb 3 at the youth hunt and the following weekend I will help Jorge man the BPS booth in Miami(Im sure we will get more of the gang to volunteer for the booth). I think this thread needs to get on the Member's side also because many of the members dont come public because of all the good stuff on the member's side!
