[Rhodes22-list] Re design of Rhodes Interior and eliminationofcompressi...

[Lowe, Rob]

Rick,
Here's the link to the home page
http://www.geocities.com/blew_skies/

No, I don't know who (if anyone, maintains it).  Looks like Tom and
Victoria Evans own it, but it says it hasn't been updated since 2005 and
I expect it's been longer than that.  Most of the contributors to this
web site aren't even on this list anymore (except maybe Michael). - rob

Rob,

Those are a couple of nice sites.  Do you know how the Blew Skies one is
kept alive?  It doesn't seem to have been updated for years.
