ES - a site is booked

[Richard Threlkeld]

I have concerns for handicapped access also. If we can find another before 
the required date for the Black Star with better access, then we will go 
with it. Many of our friends deal with major hardships in their lives and 
ask only that we think a little and allow them access only marginally 
more difficult than the rest of us enjoy. 

In fact, it is also the law. I have been told the Pithians are attempting 
to bring it up to ADA compliance with ramps and an elevator. Unfortunately, 
that will not be soon enough to meet our needs. 

On the other hand, we needed a site with many of the attributes of this 
one and we found it with only days left before the deadline.
