Per interview with Steve on YouTube from Nov. 25, 2015This project is old. Steve Twyerould mentions at the beginning of the video that Jim Sullivan first got involved in the project in the 70's.
So this project is at least 40 years old. Steve has been involved since 2005 - well over 10 years.
I think we can tough it out one more year. I agree with mudguy, in a year we will be at $2.
