(Biography:"Age 31, raised in Nebraska and Arizona; am an auto dealer. Family branded
me a nut, 'When everybody was diving for the cellar, I was grabbing my camera.' I
would very much like to chase with a real pro and learn about both storms and chas-
ing.  Can provide car or 4X4, camera, etc.  I am willing to put forth a serious
'banzai' effort and would like a partner or team who feels the same.  All correspon-
dence answered"(Phone: 602-297-2628/evenings).

                                                       in the late spring.

(Biography: "Age 39, professional musician -now working with the Thrasher Brothers
out of Nashville.  Have been chasing 'informally' for eight years, 'Formally' for
one.  Life long interest in tornadoes.  Am also very interested in purchasing good
VHS copies of other chaser's successes - and I will respect copyrights.")

Mark L. Paran          84 Gainsborough St., #106       Plains states (plans to chase this
                       Boston, Massachusetts  02115    May from 9-26, from and back to Boston)

(Biography:"Age 32, single, attorney; veteran weather watcher and lone wolf tornado
hunter for several years with good instinct end sharp eye for storms.  Drives a
280ZX 2+2 5-speed Turbo, that is a proven chase car under all conditions.  Flawless
driving record (over 250,000 miles without an accident or moving violation), includ-
ing numerous long-haul shifts.  In person, down to earth and friendly--if sometimes
reserved, intellectual, candid (with respect) and seeking like minded person as a
chase partner.  Must be someone who is hopelessly addicted to catching the great
storms and of proven ability to take charge of the Turbo.  Prior actual hunting ex-
perience helpful but not strictly necessary, so long as interest and enthusiasm
-along with some basic knowledge of' severe storms- are present.  Expect to cover at
least 9,000 miles, including extensive night driving as well as direct charges through
all manner of heavy weather.  The first night out will probably end about 1,200 miles
out, near St. Louis.  The final return May 25-26 will probably be similar.  Helpful
if partner can contribute video capability; I have a good camera kit but no video.
All responses will be answered.  Aspire to have plans set by the end of March.")
