From: Bill Unger <???????????????????????????????> Subject: Pipes I'm not sure what your name is, and I'm real new to this, having just gotten access to the internet by joining the Columbus Freenet, so I hope you'll excuse me if I make any gaffs. I'm Bill Unger, here in Columbus, Ohio, secretary/treasurer/newsletter editor of the Ohio Pipe Collectors. We're a smallish club (that hopes to grow larger) of people around Ohio who are interested in pipe smoking and collecting. We have been in existence since late 1993, publishing a quarterly newsletter and producing one swap/trade/sell show for members and the general public each year. I have recently taken over as the club's secretary and newsletter editor. A writer/editor by profession, I hope to make the newsletter as exciting and packed with information as possible. As part of that effort, I have written to all the clubs listed in the Agricultural and Mechanical Gazette, which I found out about from Steve Anderson, OPC member and pipe maker. That's where I got this internet address as well. I'd like to know how to access your group, if that's what it is, and read the stuff you have. I'd also like permission to print in our nesletter, with proper accreditation, anything that looks like it might be interesting to our members. I'd also like to send you a copy of our next issue, which will be appearing soon, and then add you to our comp list if you would like to be added. Hope to hear from you soon with a mailing address. Thanks for your patience. Bill Unger ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U
