Bill- While it really helps to have "live" organizational skills, I think a group of organizationally-challenged folk could do wonders if they had a roadmap to follow, and from the sounds of it, you & Merle & Co. have put together something special. Have you considered writing up either your experiences in putting the RCS/RI together, or even better, something closer to a step-by-step guide to finding the interested local parties and what to look for in terms of facilities (lots of space & separately derived 3-phase power systems are obvious; other things are less so). It may never happen here in the Louisville area (whatever critical mass of interest is required may or may not be present), but I'd like to try getting it started. We have a Museum of Science and Technology, but it's all mass-public stuff, IMAX Theatre, etc. -doug q
