[Spridgets] Old guys

[WFO Herb]

Regarding John's comment on the "old guys" on the list, I believe our
host  Mark (Bradakis) has the date when each of us joined.  Would be
interesting to see if he would/could post that list, including those we
lost over the years.

Mark???

Keep the sticky side down,

Herb
