Not to be out done, I thought I'd check in too! I'm Craig Rich of Holland, Michigan and I started this list almost 3 years ago. I'm glad to see someone has stirred things up a bit and got everyone "talking" again. I guess a long holiday weekend (here in the US) is just what we all needed to sit down at the computer and compose. Tonight, I went back and tracked the growth of this list. As you can see we've leveled off a bit. 15 NOV 1997 -- 18 members 7 FEB 1998 -- 100 members 14 MAR 1999 -- 204 members 13 JAN 2000 -- 262 members 4 JUL 2000 -- 272 members TODAY -- 282 members Many of us are members of the Rich Family Association at P. O. Box 142, Wellfleet, MA 02667. If you're not a member, you should really consider it. It's only $20 for new members, then $15 annually. The RFA newsletter "Kinfolk" is worth the price of membership, not to mention the contacts, the information and the annual reunion. As a life member, I am especially proud that the RFA allowed me to design and maintain their official web page at: http://www.richfamilyassociation.org Keep watching the RFA web page. We just added an outline of the Table of Connents pages from 30 selected past issues. The rest should be available soon.
