Pat Schmitz is an unknown quantity at this point
Here's a thought.... Clearly Scott saw the value of these newsletters, and was willing to put up his money to buy the rights. We have all acknowledged the value of this information, and the fact that it honors Dick's tremendous contribution to the owners of the 336/337. Perhaps we could offer our groups collective typing talents (which has considerable value!) to take this content from it's current form, to a more useable, searchable format in exchange for the right to have access to it. We can provide that same content back to Scott so he could sell it, or use it in the new format.

As a gesture, we can put his advertisement and contact info, along with a thanks for his contribution on all the pages/access to the content.

He paid for the rights,
We type, We share, He gets more usable content, and we get access. He gets more advertisement for the people who access it..

I guess that is up to Scott - he has value there he can sell, but it is questionable how much he makes selling it in it's current form.. but, it would bring more attention to his business through the online access to that content w/ some embedded appreciation ads for SKYSMITH..

Just my .02
