Jimmie,

I chuckled when I saw your note, as I just now finished ferreting out
the maps/geographic stuff from TB #255 to share with my Team members!
Good timing!

I believe that the other big holdup on Colleen's end is the
implementation of a new upgrade to LC's ILS??? If that is done and
operating properly then yes, maybe we can finally begin to move
forward on this exciting prospect!
