I offer my location in my email to the group because I am listed as a LUG leader on the web page, and hope to bring in local users to my group. The question about 'where' are you was not mine. When I feel a need for that type of info I send directly to the individual, not the group. For those trying to get groups started, they should do it as we did, find a local Genealogical/Historical/Library group to be host location. Someone must step forward to be 'organizer' and contacter. They do not need to be a pro. I know this this is OT. If someone wants organization clues contact me off list. Rich in LA CA --- Richard Hallford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
