Actually, John -
One of the main reasons that John Cole, Steve Forney and others were so careful to record these presentations - and the 'Round Table Discussion' also held that weekend (which included two or three other volunteers in addition to Terry & Ernie, plus the C&TS second employee, engineer Richard Braden) - was to preserve this historic information for posterity. SFAIK, what Steve has posted represents the second or third step in preparation of a DVD or two for publication. IIRC, professional movie maker Ian Rattray - one of the producers of the excellent 'Train to Yesterday' and '315 to Chama' videos - is also involved in this project. **
