Please direct your thanks strictly > toward him. Indeed, Jim has done a tremendous amount of work and I don't think the Somerset OPC project, which started life as the West Somerset OPC Project IIRC and grew, is the only one he runs (or ran). This is definitely much appreciated by all who have had cause to call on the various transcriptions made by the OPCs. Had you not taken on Jim's mantle, the Project would have ended and for that reason OPCs and researchers do appreciate your volunteering to step in.
