I started it May 8,2004
I got tired of going to some show and finding out that all the bus people 
camped somewhere else.
I had been a member of the HVWC, type2 and BSKA  e mail list for years and 
liked them, so............ 
Steve and Sharon, Paul, Eric W.,Mark, Ronnie, G2 and Bob P, were the only ones 
for a month or so, then Brent, Denis,Robb, Lonnie, Fred, Shirley and Neil 
signed up.
I still read every mail, have 55000 stored on my cloud.
They are all here too:
