When I reviewed issue 30-3 of our journal I was reminded that we lost the first of our founders that summer\/fall of 2004 (Larry Boccioletti).

I later moved to the executive where I held various positions.<\/p>\n<p>My most recent position is that of 2nd Vice President &#8211; and Webmaster. I created the web site and it was up April 17, 1996 when few people had personal computers or even knew of the world wide web. Since then, I have done a few major revisions, most recently changing to WordPress to make editing and uploading images and files a much easier process, especially for anyone with no commercial web editor nor any in depth technical experience.<\/p>\n<p>Some of our volunteers hold down day jobs as well, while others are retired and free to contribute their energy and resources. As a not-for-profit society, we rarely pay for the services of our volunteers (speakers are offered a small stipend).<\/p>\n<p>Want to see us in action?
