I spent some time looking at the early PUGs, mostly to see what I uploaded back then that might be appropriate for the 20th Anniversary PUG.
The main impressions I received, however, were: 1. How many entries there were 15 years or so ago. 2. The variety and quality of the entries. 3. How many names I recognized of posters 10-15 years ago who are photographers that I really respected and persons whom I now really miss. Is there any way we can reach out to these former PDMLers, and invite them to rejoin us at least for the April 20th Anniversary PUG? I know that the posts usually contained the emails being used at the time. Many may have new emails now, but some of the old emails might still be active, and others may be locatable through FaceBook or otherwise. Does anyone else feel it might be worth the effort to reach out and try to contact former members who used to be acttive posters to the PUG and this list?
