[PSUBS-MAILIST] Question for the group

[Jon Wallace]

A club designed sub "OSS - Open Source Submarine" was attempted years 
ago.  It had a good start but stalled soon afterward.  That kind of 
project is difficult to complete unless someone with a clear vision and 
desire to lead the effort takes charge of it.  I don't think I have it 
linked from the main site anymore but the page still exists at 
www.psubs.org/oss if you want to look at it or revive it.

Franks saucer sub was taken over by his daughter.  Her intent was to 
finish it and she did write into PSUBS shortly after Frank's death 
notifying us of that intent, however I have never heard back from them 
again and don't know what ultimately became of the sub.
