[Coral-List] a new home for Coral-List

[Judith Lang]

Dear Everyone,
I couldn’t agree more with the sentiments expressed so well yesterday by Bill Precht.

Jim Hendee’s vision when he chose to start Coral-List and then obstinately overcame various hurdles over the years, along the way assembling a crew of dedicated NOAA co-workers who assumed its responsibility when he retired, has always amazed me.  Thank you very much, one and all.

Coral-List is a nearly three decades old, “gift that keeps on giving.”
