Skip, I spoke to Mr. Hammond a number of months back and he stated that he no longer had any copies. He was checking a nearby bookstore where he had seen one at the time and told me he would get back to me if they still had it. Since he never got back to me, I have assumed he was unable to find a copy. Chocy

November 15, 2003 Shirley & List: I spoke with PCHS's Bill Menefee on the phone about two weeks ago.........They do not have the Hammond Atlas! Mr. Gene Hammond does not have any more of them either. I have called every Book store in Page, Warren and Shenandoah Counties, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million & eBay with no luck. I am afraid the book is gone.......for now! Skip
