Not true. I dug up hard copies and on-line PDFs from other clubs, although they aren't complete (turn on fixed-width fonts): Year vs Club SAC EVAC TAAA PAS PAC 1993 AMM 1994 AMM AMM 1995 AMM MM(1) 1996 AAMM AAMM AAMM 1997 AMM MM AMM 1998 AMM AAMM(2) 1999 AMM AAMM MM AAMM AAMM 2000 AMM AMM AMM 2001 AAMM AAMM(3) AAMM 2002 AAMM AAMM(4) AAMM(4) 2003 AAMM AAMM AAMM 2004 AAMM MM AAMM 2005 AAMM AAMM AAMM An empty space means no issues mentioning the MM could be found. (1) In the PAS article by AJ Crayon, the marathon is refered to only as the Messier Marathon. (2) EVAC distributed a hand-out with their club's president as contact. Newsletter only refers to it as MM. (3) February newletter it was AAMM, March it was MM. (4) 2002 article titles it as 2001 marathon. Both EVAC and TAAA :-) -Paul Memory is the second thing to go - I forgot what goes first...
