If Ron wants to be the webmaster and provide the web space, I will be more than happy to participate. I know how difficult it can be...getting info and materials from members. I have been editing a newsletter for an EAA chapter for the past 3 years, where "editing the newsletter" is translated as "finding material, writing articles, editing, printing, mailing the newsletter". So If Ron decides to start this thing...let's all get behind him! Pete N3552H E. T. "Pete" Petrie Computer Science at Wilkes Community College Wilkesboro, NC 28697 Fon: 336-838-6185 Fax: 336-838-6277
