Five or more years ago I found a report on one of the Circleville industries I had an interest in - and it was a very nice source of information. </div><div><br></div><div>Matt Goodman</div><div>Columbus, Ohio<br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Aug 25, 2025, at 8:41 PM, NW Modeling List <nw-modeling-list@nwhs.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div dir="auto">I have doubts.
