I have gotten a great number of responses regarding the original
subject posting. Thank you to everyone who took the time to describe
your local programs in detail. The main difference that I see
between the programs that have been described to me and our local
programs is that most of the other programs have a salvage function
associated with the events, and this is a win-win situation. Before
I get too critical of our local programs, I will investigate the
logistics.
Thanks again,
Dave Reynolds
