My Report for the January meeting of the FFLA is not very much significantly different then my last report. The “LOOKOUT LIBRARY” which is maintained with all pertinent information is being kept up. Information on lookouts has dropped off in recent months.  A full copy of the LIBRARY is as always periodically burned onto DVD disks with a volume now in excess of 22 GB.  This requires up to 6 separate disks and a considerable amount of time to do so, but it is performed at least per quarter.

Recently the FFLA Gateway computer had to have it's hard drive replaced with another and this required of course, re-adding all the info to it from back up sources, but it is up and running fine.

A set of disks were again sent to the Forest History Museum in Durham, North Carolina for their archive. As always, the Historian requests anyone have Lookout information to feel free to forward it to my address, in any form. In 2011, Austin Post's  memoirs of his years on Pyramid Mountain was finished and Gary has published them in several issues of Lookout Network.

Questions concerning the history of the FFLA always can be sent to my address
FFLAHISTORIAN@gmail.com , and I will do my utmost to try and answer them or ask others for their help.

In 2012 the Association will be in it's 22nd year and that my friends by itself is quite an accomplishment worthy of Historic note!

Respectfully,  Bob Spear  Historian FFLA
