[FC] Made the Back Cover

Mon Mar 1 21:42:02 2004

Hey Douglas,

Thanks for identifying yourself! I took a lot of pictures at Carlisle, but met very few of the owners as everyone was off somewhere else. I could use more pictures (with captions) and articles if anyone's interested. Thanks for all the support so far.
