Jay Barta:
Sorry, thanks I've learned way more about cranberries than I'd like. By the way you're the aforementioned "Continental Whisperer"

Mike Fox:
I'm not much of a whisperer.. But I can still smell that varnished gas from the Shingle Mill Conti..never have I seen one that bad. It has been a couple years, time to get that one running again..

John Kokas:
Time to start planning & designing the sawmill and shingle mill.

Bill Reidy:
Wow!  That's a terrific history, Jay.  Thanks for researching and writing it.  Separately, I was going to update 51's roster page today (http://wordpress.wwfry.org/?page_id=192 -- I've been slowly updating the roster pages the last two months), but I see your information should be added to the page.

Here's a few related photos:

Here's a SWW photo of 51 by the water tower. Didn't take on water, as I recall. Not sure which year, but it rained a lot.

Happy New Year!
