visit various historic sites during business hours and on
weekends.  Members serve approximately 40 hours per month.  They
do not receive compensation, but may be reimbursed for expenses.
     County residents must apply in writing by January 12 to
County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office
Building, l0l Monroe Street, Rockville, MD  20850.  Applicants
