Who would have thought MoPo would still be around 25 years after that
first listserv message was sent on February 24, 1995…be here we
are!!!!
MoPo really started in 1994 when a small group of movie memorabilia
collectors found each other on Usenet (you youngsters may have to
Google that) and began CC'ing each other on e-mails discussing the
hobby. It was a primitive mailing list, but it worked. Then in early
1995 as our distribution list grew, American University student Adam
Ehrlich discovered his school allowed students to set-up a listserv
discussion group--for free-and MoPo was officially launched. It's
interesting that once a list begins, as long as it stays active and
has a listowner (that would be ME!) AU just lets it chug along even
after a student graduates. Even more amazing is that AU still
maintains their listserv system at all. But a big thank you is in
order to American U for giving MoPo a home for all these years.
As is my annual tradition, I salute the original 11 who were here 25
years ago today: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna
Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static
(using AOL name Static555), Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (sadly we lost Cindy
in 2008, but her husband Jay is still a MoPo member), myself, and of
course, (former) AU student Adam Ehrlich. I'm happy to report that in
addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still with us 25 years
later!
It seems unreal that 25 years have passed since MoPo began…time does
really fly if you'll pardon the cliché. I was an avid collector back
at the beginning, but as the years have passed (along with my hair
line), I find myself content with my collection as it is and have
begun thinking about what I'm going to do with all these beautiful
images that are now living in storage boxes. But every day I do enjoy
looking at my favorites that have been carefully framed and hang on
the walls and they will probably be the last to go should I ever
decide to liquidate. (I have a feeling I'll be liquidated before those
cherished gems are!)
My thanks to all MoPo'ers, past and present, for a wonderful 25 years.
Happy Silver Anniversary MoPo!
