Re: soc.retirement.... Origin????

You might want to add Connie, Mel Fullerton, and a very formal guy whose
specialty was economics. can't remember his last name-, first name John.
There is also Russ Weber who, I think, was the one who called for the group
name and formation. Also if my memory is correct, the group began as an
offshoot and reassembly of a senior group that flourished on the old
Prodigy.
