Rick,
I know that CRRM runs on volunteer work, and I would love to be a part of that. I see only two problems.
1) they don't seem to want the help, maybe that changes after you sign up
2) there isn't enough focus to the work that does go on.
There is a lot of good being done over at the Museum, esp. teaching people about the history of the equipment on display. I know that volunteers do that work and they do a great job. My biggest gripe is that equipment seems to come apart then not get rebuilt for a long time. I am at fault for not getting involved yet, so can only complain so far.
Paul
