Two lists - one "hello Elsa!"
Apple Corps of Dallas founded in January 1978 ( 26 years ago ).
Still have a couple founding members among the membership, and keep
newsletters tracking back to 1998 online; but have newsletters tracking
back to the very first in the garage of the first Editor - (back in
those days newsletters printed out on green and white continuous form
paper took several hundred pages each(!) )
If you go to our website and link to the officers page
<
http://www.acd.org/ACD.officers.htm> you'll see a picture list of all
current and past presidents (a few still missing as we scour the
archives) from the beginning forward.
On the 25th anniversary - I (as Editor) was running a column with
excerpts and commentary from the original Editor and still ACD Member,
Ray Thompson - and last year we had a party where we brought all of as
many old and new members together for one large pizza party - it turned
out to be a very memorable occasion that we are considering repeating
every few years (or so).

The 20th anniversary of the Mac got me thinking about the history of
our
groups. A few groups have been around since the early days of the
Apple II,
some of us got started shortly after the Macintosh's birth, and new
groups
have been forming ever since.
How long has your group been around? Does your group keep archives
(such as
old newsletters) or otherwise track your group's history? Do you do
anything
special to recognize the members who have been with the group for the
longest?
I'll start the ball rolling with our group. MUG ONE, the Macintosh User
Group of Oneonta, NY was founded January 27, 1986. Six of the eighteen
founding members are still active in the group. We keep an archive of
newsletters from 1986 to the present, as well as some old Apple user
group
publications. We have acknowledged the founding members informally at
meetings, but it would be nice to do something more special.
What about your group?
