=== and - to clarify the T-ABC program

Recently T-ABC member Mark Stolzenburg (_stolzy40@sbcglobal.net_
(mailto:stolzy40@sbcglobal.net) ) wrote:

"Walter and Jim have done a fabulous job putting helpful technical info on
the site"

Thanks for the kind words Mark - but

I thought I should clarify (especially for newer members) how the T-ABC
program has evolved. When I purchased my car in 1998 I realized that I would
need help so I searched the internet for other TC owners in order to exchange
information. About a dozen of us began exchanging information by addressing
our emails to the other eleven members. One of the group; Walter Preschl then
offered to register the group with an internet program (now Yahoo) that would
enable us to address email to Yahoo and all members would receive the email.
Walter also volunteered to create a website for the group. Someone
suggested, and it was agreed that we include TA and TB owners as well as TC owners,
and "T-ABCs Forever" was born.

As interest spread, others joined the group and after we grew to over
one-hundred members someone suggested we create a car badge and a design "contest"
resulted in the Austin Bear design.

Walter and I share the tasks:

Walter maintains the website including all of the website pages:technical
and special files, gallery photos, members roster, suppliers list, etc. All
photos and other information you want to see on the website should be directed
to _walter@mg-tabc.org_ (mailto:walter@mg-tabc.org)

My involvement is registering new members with Yahoo, distribution of badges
and patches, and emailing periodic "Updates by Jim"

=== and it is amazing to me

and I'm sure to the other dozen or so early members, that we are now over
700 members !!

Charles may pipe up on his own but I contacted him and he came through
without any damage. He is located on top side of Alabama and while Katrina
did pass over them, it lost some of it's punch. I am sure it wasn't a
picnic though.
