[aavl] CALLING ALL LIST MEMBERS

[teddiejoy]

Hello Robert,

Unfortunately, in the 11 years since AAVL was established, historical memory
has declined.  That has happened because we have lost many of the founding
members.  As the founding president, I am and have been for a number of
years, a life member.  I believe that our former newsletter editor was also
a life  member.  Jeanne Sanders from Florida also a life member.

Are you collaborating with any of the AAVL board members?  The only founding
member left are those I mentioned, Charlie Crawford and myself.  It saddens
me that so many wonderful members have passed but also the historical memory
seems to have died with them.  We who are life members paid $200.00 to
ensure that status when Al Gayzagian was our treasurer and provided us with
such reliable records.

I think that if there is no historical commitment, this effort for
reconnection, as sincere as it may be, is obviously useless.  There are too
many lists for current issues and AAVL has lost its past.  Thanks for
trying, Robert.

  Dear listers,

  Do any of you know of any others who have been a member AAVl in the past
or may want to become members now.  There is always a problem with people
not being sure their dues being paid up.  I keep getting hits on this list
by people wanting to be subscribed to it.  They are not on my somewhat
limited listing of members so I cannot oblige because the list is only for
paid up members of AAVL.  To my knowledge, AAVL has no lifetime memberships
and "Life" member of ACB still leaves annual membership dues a requirement.
Membership on this list depends upon current membership.

  When I started this list, I believed that it might promote communication
among AAVL membership, either chit-chat type or AAVL business type.

  QUESTIONS:  Do you want the list to continue?

  Do any of you want to find other members to be subscribed?  Only I can
finalize that.

  Best wishes for upcoming holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, oh and
yes, the biggy of Halloween.  smiles.

  Robert Rogers
