Material from SAIL and layout provided mainly by Martin Frost [ME] and Les Earnest [LES]
An archive of SAIL information is being maintained by Bruce Baumgart, at htpp://www.baumgart.org. Since that archive is not currently (Jan 2002) publically available (see http://w071.z064002061.sjc-ca.dsl.cnc.net/sail/), we have set up a local list of some of the photographs, but these have incomplete identifications.
