You can reach Simson at any time by sending him mail or by calling his digital pager at 800-xxx-xxxx. Phone messages left at 508-xxx-xxxx may be checked every few days. Then again, they may not.
Our maps were done with a CDROM product called Automap Road Atlas. It automatically determined the best route to take and created the maps, which were converted to GIF format and saved on my BSDI web server, Vineyard.NET.
