[1969] '69 e-Group Revival Recap

[Steven]

As a start, the new officers will need the member list.

Also, if Eve would share the basic field names and format of the 69 
database, not the content, then at least someone else could start to be an 
interim point of contact to collect and pursue information about 69's and 
their owners from this point forward.  This could then later be added back 
into the the Database that she has.  In this way we won't lose any time or 
miss any opportunities and Eve will not have to give up the information that 
Mark had so painstakingly assembled.

Again, this is something that I'd be happy to do for the 69 group.

- Steve
