Response to last issue's editiorial was most gratifying with quite a few of you sending in info and contact points for your wargame clubs. The HMGS National Board responded in the person of Clay Smith with a listing of clubs in Texas and a promi.se to send us an update each issue as more people register their groups with HMGS. we will support this endeavor for a while until the list threatens to overwhelm the space available for it.

I firmly believe that HMGS should print a listing of all the Historical Miniature Gaming Clubs they can locate (and who wants to be listed - but why wouldn't you want to be?) with a contact point and make it available for a reasonable fee (perhaps free to HMGS members). All of this is to the good, but does not address the problem of making non-gamers or non-historical gamers aware of the existence and/or activities of Historical Miniature Gaming Clubs in their midst.

This is the way we make the hobby grow - enlisting new members, presently not into the hobby. One thought is a general poster that contains general info about the hobby and where a club can list it's contact point and display in local hobby stores, libraries, store bulletin boards, etc. Once again HMGS could design this, print it and make it available for a small fee. Perhaps you have some ideas we could present here.

DAVE CHANDLER RECOVERING

Exciting News! Dave wrote in his own hand to thank all who thought of him and those who sent him get well wishes during his recent illness. The letter itself is proof positive of the great strides he is making in his recovery from the devastating stroke he recently suffered. Our prayers and good wishes are with you, Dave.

MISPRINTED CONTENTS PAGE

By now most of you realized that only the contents page in the last issue was misprinted. Subscribers will find the correct one on the inside mailing cover of this issue. It can be cut out and pasted over the bad one. Non subscribers: please send a self-addressed, stamped (32 cents should do it) business envelope for the new index. Sorry for the problem.

OTHER BAD COPIES

From time to time readers receive a copy which has missing pages or unprinted pages, PLEASE simply return it to us and we will replace it for a new one. Someone complained about such a problem on his volley fire response for #65 but his name and address were missing so I could not send a replacement. Would whoever that was please drop me a line? Thanks.
