Glad you like them. I am stuck working the library today from 9:00 to 12:00 and I was looking for something to do. I have been working on this idea of a "Who's Who" of the distilling industry for some time now and I thought this would be a good time to start. It will also help me out a lot when you consider how many genealogical inquiries I get in a year. I can now direct them to this site to find out about the the company or person their grandfather used to work for. For me it is a win-win situation.
