hi, i wasn't at the board meeting where they discussed the jacksonville site so i am only guessing but i think it has something to do with a coastal location. there was much discussion after dayton beach and albany, oregon (the most perfect site for a national as far as i am concerned) that going to either coast was too far east or west. there was also much discussion on the list to that effect at the time. i think that when we talk east, central, & western locations we all have different ideas as to what states fall in each of those regions. being in texas, i consider us central and i know others would consider us the western region. i said something to someone from california about colorado being a western location & they thought that was it central. so i don't know if we have it defined anywhere what states fit into which regions. if we do, i'd like to know where the definition can be found. lea ruggieri ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
