This discussion is not complete without thanking the list moderator who enables us all to enjoy this list. Moderation is inherently a hard, time-consuming job. It requires a lot of system administration to keep the list going technically and to avoid oodles of non-costume-related-spam.

Thank you Carol. I did the h-costume directory in 1997 or 1998. I had forgotten all about the directory. That was fun! It is so hard to believe it has been 15 years online for my business. My daughter Katie was 4 years old when I started my business. She would fall asleep in my lap while I

So who are the old-timers on h-costume that are still here? What year did you join h-costume? Don't remember the year, but it was right after the group started. The vintage clothing list (now defunct) preceded h-costume, and the founder of h-costume mentioned the new h-costume list there.

Hey, stop callin' me old-timer! I checked the archives found my oldest post from 24Jan1994. I was on reading the list before that date, maybe Nov93. Somewhere in there the first h-costume outing occured. It was to the costume shop wardrobe department of the now defunct American Musical
