Greetings Ed!   
      
    EV>> I guess you didn't know the "GT-Power BBS Network" was a different   
    EV>> BBS Network.   
      
    EV>> The Volunteer BBS wasn't in the "FIDO BBS Network", that's probably   
    EV>> why you couldn't find his name or BBS in the 'FIDO' Nodelist.   
      
   Not to mention that the 'nodelist' used was a recent list. He could have   
   been nodelisted at anytime since 1985. And nodelists are issued weekly.   
      
    RW>> The other reason might be that he has dropped out of Fidonet.   
    RW>> There is still an amateur radio oriented BBS in your area.   
      
    EV> Tom Currie, TTBOMK never had a FIDONET BBS system.   
      
   TTBOYK...he could have had a BBS that was nodelisted in Fidonet before you   
   came along. I operated a BBS back in 1991-92 that was pretty popular   
   because of its games, but it was never nodelisted on Fidonet. Neither was   
   I, until 1995.   
      
    EV>> Later on, I saw messages from Mike Powells PAN-AM BBS -   
    EV>> formerly(sp?) called Moe's Tavern BBS - while I was using Toms The   
    EV>> Volunteer BBS, and learned that Mike carried both BBS Networks AND   
    EV>> there was a echo for BASIC Programming on the FIDO Network side I   
    EV>> joined Mike's BBS too.   
      
    RW>> I found a web site that calls itself Moe's Tavern, and it has a   
    RW>> 1994 release of a commordore music file listed for download.   
    RW>> Not much on the PAN-AM BBS. A lot of obituraies for Mike or   
    RW>> Michael Powell though.   
      
    EV> Mike is alive, but I guess a lot of folks have/had the same name.   
      
   There are a lot of Roy Witts out there too.   
      
    EV> Probably lots of folks called Ed Vance too, but AFAIK I'm the only   
    EV> one using that name on BBS's.   
      
   8^) I'm the only Roy Witt in the Fidonet nodelisting...   
      
    EV>> After Mike got a job that took him away from my area I started using   
      
    RW>> Minneapolis?   
      
    EV> Nope, Frankfort, Kentucky - where his Capitol City Online BBS is.   
      
   I've been on a BBS in that area of the midwest with a HAM radio   
   orientation to it. I believe it also had a REACT section to it as well.   
      
      
       Have a day!
