thanks Jeff! How about the website and the forum...when did that become incorporated?

[jeffgude]

The forum was Mr. Lundell's baby...he would know dates better than I.

I've got some really old MORC newsletters and stuff in my basement. I'll try to get some of it scanned and posted soon.

So in the next few years we can expect that we'll develop nasty acne and have a cracking voice?

And here I thought it was something Bob sketched out on a bar napkin 15 years ago.

Nope. I'm not a visionary, rabble rouser, or organizer. I'm just good at eventually recognizing other people's great ideas after being slammed in the head a few times.

MORC was already alive and growing while I was still taking my first MTB rides on a borrowed bike.

That would be great. I'd be really interested in seeing them - thanks!


Good thread

There is some archive on this site:

Jeff, if you take the time to scan old newsletters, we should make sure that they get added to the archive.

It is kinda fun to view the revisions of the website via archive.org
