"BOBBY" and LYNNE, thanks again for sharing your experience and knowledge with us as usual. I (and I'm sure most others) have missed both of your comments in the last many months.Please don't be such strangers as we enter the next big steps (Land transfer,land apprasial, financing, contractors etc.) BILL.... P.S. for the record I believe the two of you (or at least one of you) have been posting about Omagine on this message board longer than any of the current cast of characters--- Feb. of 2006! You even "nosed" out "Nick" (lebnjb) by a little over two weeks. Please , keep the knowledge flowing. My cheerleading and prognostications of someting happening on Frank's birthday (now less than two months away) or Ramadan, can only take us so far!
