Scott helped me reset my admin password for the list and I can now help 
you with moderation requests. It looks like there are about 6 or so 
addresses that are bouncing. We'll see if we can find those folks and 
get them back if we can.

It's been a while, so I'll re-introduce myself. I'm Desmond, KC6VHG. I 
live in the PWC housing on the Western edge of Treasure Island. I moved 
here in 1999 and have raised my family here. I've served as a director 
on the board of the Treasure Island Museum Association, though I am not 
currently. I'm also a past commodore of the Treasure Island Yacht Club, 
though not so active there anymore. I defer to Pete, WA6UDU there.

The Island is in a state of rapid redevelopment. High rises have gone up 
where the BOQ (Star Barracks) once stood. The majority of the buildings 
here have been razed. This housing area will soon be finished clearing 
out and I'll go with it to make way for an open space park. The first 
ham shack facing the city went long ago to make Navy housing. The 70's 
shack that was behind the post office is now part of a sports complex 
under construction. If there's interest I can take some pictures.

Building One now hosts a gorgeous bar in the lobby! The parking lot is a 
popular concert venue with big events roughly once a month.

Being part of this group has been really rewarding for me. I've met Pete 
and hosted members visiting the island. Your stories are too good to not 
be told. It's been a pleasure. It's important to me that the legacy of 
K6NCG endure out here in any form it can.

I'm hoping that we can take this moment, remember Mike, and build 
something to keep the club alive and possibly create an exhibit for the 
museum to help tell the story.

Who's with me?

Desmond, KC6VHG

Treasure Island.
