Apologies! I did not have one of my valuable resources to write up the newsletter for October, so I am missing most of the images and some of the write-ups. I did pull up a fair amount of info on the internet though. The November issue will have images back in the newsletter. Unfortunately, I will be traveling for several weeks and will not be able to update the newsletter this month with better data and images.
I appreciate your continued support.
