GP: BP SOLAR

[l.p.erickson@att.net]

John,

   What a coincidence. I was driving thru Maryland just
last July and asked my wife to write down 'BPsolar outside
Hagarstown'. I have that sheet of paper in front of me 
now. Is this a solar panel manufacturing plant that is 
using a renewable energy source to operate?

   Actually the process I was referring to, I believe,
is in Detroit. ( Not sure ) but they make long sheets of
solar panel material ( like maybe 300 yards at a time )

Lars.
