Someone's comment prompted me to try to take a look at all of the PUGs
from the beginning.
A couple of things have come to my attention so far ...
Some familiar names, but a lot of names that have passed by the wayside
by the time I got here. I wonder what happened to them.
I'm too critical of my own photography. It may be crap, but that
shouldn't stop me from posting it.

The first PUG was indeed revealed on April 1, 1997, on some of my
personal server space, later transferred to the komkon server. It was
just a few photos and each page was coded separately using my clunky
HTML skills. In fact, for quite some time each gallery had to be coded,
which explains the long gaps between some of them, leading to some
grumblings in the ranks, which came to a head when I was in Little Rock,
Arkansas, prepping for my mother's funeral in January of 1999. It was
determined that I had my time priorities out of whack and I was booted
from my post as first PUGmaster.
All this was before I took over The List from Pentax, which happened
during the Christmas/New Year transition from 2000 to 2001.

I just checked back and find that the first PUG I entered was in April
2000. I know that it took me a few months to figure out how to scan my
prints for submission to the PUD, so I must have joined some time in
early
2000.
As far as I can determine, Doug Brewer is the only member still
around who
posted an image to the first PUG, in April 1997:

I think that may be the first PUG off the Pentax server. It's about
(maybe six
months after, if my increasingly fallible memory is to be trusted)
when we were
booted off.
