We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Gordon Lightfoot dead at 84
I saw him at Wilkes Community College around 2009 or 2010. He had lost a little of his voice, but still put on a really good show. He was a fantastic songwriter and singer.

While working at Coast Guard Headquarters in DC, I had access to all maritime casualty records including The Edmund Fitzgerald. I spent a few hours reviewing this particular case, interesting. Just for my personal enlightenment that is.

Re: Gordon Lightfoot dead at 84
This one stings more than most. I have lived his lyrics over my many decades and found much solace in these tunes that are burned into my soul.
