FW: AKA History / Convention (was VDA at 90)
Who was it who said that those who do not know history are doomed to
repeat it?
Anyway, I for one would love to see the old shows and read Robert's
proposed AKA history article. I hope to put a similar thing together for
GCKA when I can make the time. The history of the group (be it national
or local club) gives us an idea of why it was formed, what people have
learned along the way, and where it is going. We need that information
to try to plan for the future.

KI>Robert, I don't think you should give up the idea of
