Canyou guyssendme somestuffand somephotos rom lastyear oo. I know Ron is working onanotherphotoCD which is great.
I surewould like to get somecopiesofphotos of someof the earlyreunionsandan early rosterofmembers. rcally don't want to loose he history of this group!Maybeyougup can take up buildingand creatinganarchive of the rcuniongroupatyour next meeting.
