Yes, you are right! It was Valentine's Day....I remember the party started in OZ and moved east. That's why it lasted 24 hours. Looking at that list, now I see why I was making a cookbook. I wonder how many people on the list then are still with us now....

Dear List Perhaps it's time for a Roll-Call to determine who is still with us and who isn't everyone posting their "most wanted"; "brick-wall" or oldest know ancestor.. I can tell you the number of subscribers hasn't changed that much, and many of those who were at the first party are still subscribed but in the lurk mode. but there has been some of the "old timers" who have moved on..
