I know it must be quite daunting for one person to tackle and keep a website fresh and up-to-date. But you've been doing just that and it has a professional look and easy-to-use feel to it.

With the Baltimore & Chesapeake Steamboat Company declaring that it is expanding its mission to take in a broader scope of regional maritime interests, do you suppose that a notice could be forthcoming inviting others to help craft the new areas-of-interest pages on this web site too?

I, for one, have been helping to develop a German-American discussion forum for the Chesapeake Bay (see below) and I know it takes some extra effort on the part of a few to keep a site going - even if it is only a discussion forum -.

Let me say that you have done a terrific job keeping this site out in Cyberspace instead of letting it slip beneath the waves.

Do you suppose that now may be the time to invite others to help too? You (and everyone else) are reading the cyber sign-up sheet right now. The line should be forming on the right as we speak. Can you see it?
