Jennifer, as we discussed the other day on the telephone, the Historic
Houses Trust of NSW would be very interested in such a group and I, for
one, could be willing to put some energy into the
coordination/dissemination of information. Hope we get a good show of
cyber-hands. Thanks for taking the initiative.
