Bibliography; "I'm 32 and unemployed.  I took two years of
meteorology at Texas A and M and was an active member of the Severe
Storms Intercept Project there.  I've always had a fascination for
severe storms and tornadoes since I was eight years old.  I have a 35
mm camera with normal, wide angle, and telephoto lenses along with
binoculars, weather radio, and compact aneroid barometer.  I prefer to
drive with someone to Oklahoma and will help out with gas and
expenses."

Bibliography: "I'm 34, and grew up in Maple Heights, OH.  Been
fascinated with severe storms since I overcame a terrible fear of
lightning and thunder when I was 4.  Was a weather watcher for the NWS
from age 7 to 18.  I chased for two weeks in June, 1985 and last year
I spent two weeks from Kansas to South Dakota, where the action was.

Bibliography: "I found ST to be what I had been looking for- a
source of contacts and useful information.  I am a 38 year old
Lieutenant on the LaGrange, IL Fire Department, and an avid tornado
"buff".  My actual involvement started some 30 years ago when I saw
some funnel clouds form and dissipate over my home.  Since that time,
I have remained interested and involved in tornadoes.  I have
coordinated several seminars and started a cooperative spotters net
among several companies in the western Chicago suburbs.  I wrote a
position paper for our Fire Department on Doppler Radar; coordinated a
three-day severe weather seminar for public service personnel;
developed and wrote the severe weather shelter and operations plans
for our department; and am currently about a quarter of the way
through writing a book on tornadoes for the fire service.
