Boston Globe had an article on St. John today too...sobering stuff. I would have loved to see the reefs 30 years ago. I can even see the difference in my photos--there's a big drop off in the health of the coral between 2004 and 2005 in my pictures.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

I think that's very cool. Sweet Christine's reaction was more "Great, now more people will visit." I like to see a beautiful place get it's due credit, but St. John can only accommodate so much tourism.

Cheers, RickG

I wish I'd thought to get his autograph! I'm a big fan! I do feel honored to be (even in the background) in a photo composed by Steve Simonsen!
