Al,

Sounds great. Can you make that happen? The information can be sent to me. I'll set up and maintain the database, and share the information that give their permission.

Would it be possible that the President of each of these BB clubs be approached to see if they will put out a request to the their own members that thereis a Blue Bird Data Base being put together and that the members can send a email to a central place to make this list. They can then state IF they want thie name to bepublic or private. If the list is to track down as many BB's that are out there then I would think that you would have good participation.

I'll throw this out for thought...

Are WE willing to put upfront dollars, TBD, for some one, or some of us, to work at gathering that information...that's using the latest information list(s) that are available (TBD)?

If I spent 150 hours, probable more, 4 states, and apply hi/low per state, seems like an hour estimate of time would be 1,000 to 1,200 hours, probable more hours, to call, write, etc., chase down, and create a database. Plus there are expenses to do just that. Then there are expenses because some owners only use Snail Mail, postage, and time to keep them informed. I work cheap, others will too, but not for free when it requires dedicated time that this effort requires and the expense to make it happen.

Please present your thoughts to make this work.

Phil & I can request the SWBB database participants grant open information sharing, but the response is TBD.

The FINAL database should respect each participants wishes to protect or share information.

Also, WE need to pay for the dedicated/shared space to store/maintain the information. Someone needs to be in charge for the space, costs, etc.

Site owners, others, please reply.

Curt: You could be a nice guy and offer us that database. I know it takes a lot of time to acquire info like that. Today, that's the only kind of information available.
