Sorry for the tardy response.  [And likewise sorry for the even tardier
forwarding of the response.  SRR]  Steve gave the website for the fusor
and
there is a full accounting going back to 1998 of my activities with fusion.
It has been a real trip and was a lot more challenging and required far more
reading, knowledge base and expanded skill set than did my 14 year long
adventure with Tesla coils.  It is true that all we do helps prepare us for
the next adventure.

In 2000, the TCBOR became the High Energy Amateur Science group here in
Richmond and we still meet monthly.  My Teslathons morphed smoothly into the
HEAS conference with all the same faces showing up, plus a few more.
