I should be on the list. I have been receiving it ever since I signed up. I
used to be signed up as krzcooter@xxxxxxx but I cancelled that email address
and signed up as krzcooter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I have been getting the emails
flawlessly ever since I signed up about 1 year ago.

also encourage him, however, to check with the local cachers in st. Charles
before he gets too far along. There are many issues that are of particular
concern for the cachers in St. Charles, they may have some valuable input for
him. I am sure he may contact BruceS (1500+finds) nearly anytime and I am sure
Tribble, jen, & the others are there to help him as well.
Unfortunately, Chris is NOT on the email list and unless someone is passing
him mail, he is not receiving any of this discussion.
Other than making us look like an unorganized bunch of splinter groups that
are not working together in any sort of coordinated way, i see absolutely no
harm in him setting up another organization. Its great fun and i wish him all
the best of luck.
I read part of a chapter in my science book on weather once and i have seen
a cloud. Excuse me whilst i go build a weather station. This could be fun.

I couldn't agree more. I guess sometimes we forget the enthusiasm we had
wh4en we found our first cache. Someone had to be excited enough to start
SLAGA.. I am sure that the same enthusiasm is busting out of
weatherexpert.
His emails to me about our Winter Rendezvous show his excitement for the
sport.
If you think back, some will have to think way back, to when you were 13
years old, St. Louis seemed like a country. To travel from St. Charles to
Arnold was a major haul. To the young mind before driving a mile seems
like
3. It takes forever to get from one place to the other. "Are we there
Yet?"
So perhaps he just thinks that as big as St. Charles is, there is a need
for
a new organization.
I think we should be less critical and encourage him to share the site
with
his buddies. He is still a member of SLAGA and what harm will come from
him
setting up his own site?
Encourage a youth of today and they will lead tomorrow. Lets not ridicule
him. Lets appreciate him.
