For those of you who stopped by to buy a book and support our efforts to lift the submerged aircraft and her precious cargo - we are deeply grateful!  And to all who had a friendly hello or a few minutes of conversation, thank you too!  This kind of project can be full of delays and setbacks, disappointments and dead ends... but you folks who encourage us in this effort, well... feel you are all a part of our team, and your support really means a lot to us.  Thanks to all for your kind words and assistance in this endeavor. 

If you were there, please leave a comment!
