This has been one of the most consistent and successful sites, though it has decline some the past few years. It was first found by Glenn Therres the current director of the Natural Heritage Program in MD. He lives on Kent Island and was making a trip to the liquor store, a few doors down from the P.O., for a few brews when he noticed the colony almost 10 years ago. Thanks for your e-mail and please let me know if you ever bump into any other LETE colonies. Best regards - Dave. Paula M.
