Everyone on this list is going to die sometime.  Some sooner than later.  We 
need young people if all or any part of this history is going to be preserved 
past us.  All of the "museum" fiascos that have been covered here show how 
easily it is lost.  But as Tarek mentioned in his follow up, very few young 
people are interested.  So, how do we get them interested?  I can't think of a 
better idea than asking one of the few that IS interested.  Can you?
