The paper requires registration and I didn't want to bother. But I'm going to go ahead and add the link to the list, especially since this adds yet another layer to the story. We love Haarsager in Alaska, so we're sorry to see him leave WSU and take a job that's going to eat up all of his time. Maybe he'll remember us -- someday! ;-) Kerry — Thanks for the link and the full article. The paper requires registration and I didn’t want to bother.
