The banker horse might prove to be interesting. They have the right idea in that barrier island horses are a very big deal in our area. The National Park Service is heavily vested in the Shackleford Banks Ponies. There are even researchers located within our area to interview. Plus ... she actually owns a horse and knows people who have adopted banker ponies. Also, horse people are a dedicated lot ... there will be people interested in helping.

I'm learning as we go... the NC list would have been an excellent series. Some of their topics are so very fringe. I'm not getting solid answers as to the logic of their selections. Enough of the switching thou ... I know your getting tired of moving banners and updating he list.

 The selection choices as references were enlighting. They are learning ... some the hard way ... that just because it is on the internet - doesn't mean it is true. Actually, it is a little frightening what some might consider reputable references. I think it is sinking in ... google and take the top one on the list may not be the best approach.
 Finally - I think I would draw the line on doing any formal reviews if I were you. You've invested more than enough time in this as it is. We can let the outside source do the GA evaluations... if you like .. I'll tell them you are too close to the project to pass judgements. Patience is a virtue ... let em sweat a little!!!!!!  Thanks
