Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: done Mike C and I (Steve E) were building during the same period (10 yearsago!) that Grant was publishing. Grant is a great guy who decided toturn his interests to other things after shepherding the piet flock foryears with the best looking news letter in the 'business'. He did givea years warning and no-one picked up the baton. (including myself)I'll be interested to see if his reply to Mike C. is the same that hegave me years ago when we talked about copyright. Personally I think the BPA newsletters are fascinating and helpful, butthe archives of this group have as much or more valuable informationwhen it comes to building. History is interesting however....Steve E (the youngish, old timer.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: BPA newsletterI had to come home over lunch, so I thought I'd dig out the most recent BPA Newletter to send the list information about it. It is the Second Quarter issue and came out on time (April), AFAIK. I agree with Douwe that some recent issues are thin (though this one is 8 pages), but given that they are full color, that the publisher/editors have the means to edit, typeset, and distribute, and that someone has the interest, seems to me that all it's missing is content.Content and paying dues would be our contribution, whether that contribution be made to the current Newsletter or to a new newsletter. I'm not clear on why we wouldn't just contribute to the current newsletter and not reinvent the wheel. BUT, don't let me get in the way of someone's dream. As I wrote this morning, I used to edit a newsletter. It was a lot of fun (but a lot of work, too).In case you want to contribute to the current newsletter, the contact information is:The Brodhead Pietenpol Association Newsletterc/o The Independent-RegisterPO Box 255Brodhead, WI 53520-0255Email: bpa(at)indreg.comA year's subscription is $16 (four issues).
