this puts him where the butterflies are and Mark gives us the tremendous

an intimate knowledge of Blues as well as the Miami Blue.. They are Assited 
by David Fine a young lepidoptery student who has already been researching in 
the keys for us. A team from C2M is also doing some preliminary survey work. 
We need ecologists, botanists and others for the C Team and Ed Reinertsen is 
organizing the B -Team with people skilled in growing host plants as well as 
breeding butterflyies. There are many people already consulting with the 
teams and they will work through the C-Team. 

We need help from any that consider themselves qualified. And of course as 
time goes on the Task Force  (Miami Blue Crew) will need more people. 

We will talk more about the 3 Teams in the next update.
