Where are you from?

Hello,
I will be giving an informational talk at the upcoming Gales of November event which is a fundraiser for the Marine Museum in Duluth.

I will be describing the harborcam operation and how much it means to myself and to the webcam viewers like you.

Just wondering if you could take a minute to comment with your first name, where you are from and why you enjoy the cams.  I will read some in my talk.

Thanks,
Den
