     Hey Colleen,

     I didn't know that you were the president of the Gaming Club. How

     have they been doing? As I have previously said, I have been out of

     touch since I moved to Albany.

     Speaking of being out of touch, could somebody brief me about

     what's been happening lately with the forum. From reading some of the

     posts, I get the idea that the forum is having a lot of the same

     problems they had back in my day (Why I remember when.....). We

     always had conflict between those who wanted the forum to be primarily

     a libray, and those who saw the forum as a hang-out, video room, gaming

     palace, whatever. In addition, there was the even bigger problem of

     getting anyone in the forum to do anything, particularly on a regular

     basis. I just hope you guys aren't fighting.

     Also, could somebody update me on what happened last I-Con. I was

     unable to attend (had to work) but I would like to know how it went.

     Thanks,

     -Tony

     P.S. If the gaming club still exists, can I have some of my old games

     back?

         HAHAHAHAH!

         The last "incarnation" of the gaming club really blew it, Tony. I'm
         happy

         to hear Colleen is in charge now; she gets things done.

         I donated games, a computer, and office supplies to the Gaming club
         when

         it had that little room in the basement of Central. Between the
         slothliness

         of the members, and the . . . . uh . . . hmmm . . . colorful guy in
         charge,

         the place self destructed. Lost their room, and reduced everything
         in their

         to scrap. That attitude -- have our fun and fuck everything else --
         is one

         of the reasons I can't abide gaming anymore.
