STORM TRACK: January 31, 1985 (Volume 8 Issue 2)

As promised in the last issue, here is a cumulative listing of Roster entries from prior ST's of those interested in or willing to correspond with others about storms. This range covers meteorologists and non-meteorologists as well as experienced and non-experienced chasers. New readers interested in chasing storms should keep in mind that many of those listed here are doing professional research-study. Consequently, they may not have the time to answer a great many questions. Also, when considering making up a chase team, they will naturally prefer professional associates with whom they have studied or taught. However, all share with you a fascination with and awe of the severe thunderstorm, and will do their best to answer your questions.
