Mike-
We and the world owe you a harty thanks for all your efforts.

The situation is understood and I think your suggestion
will be a fine solution.
The world is drifting more and more toward digital but it is nice
to know there is a reference and collection of data to refer to.

This Yahoo group can as you suggest become the low-cost low-maintenance
solution you refer to. It can offer the discussion interactivity and
also serve as repository for data in the form of files stored
in the FILEs area and photos in the Photos area that people would
like to share.

In fact if anyone would like to assist as moderators please let me
know. There is no burden at all ... just if something happened
to me there would still be someone able to tweak the function
of the yahoo account as needed when needed etc.

Again the link to the website refered to is always at the bottom
of all these messages.

Scott
