32 years after the fact, I have to rely on my memory. Heh.

My recollection is that the present MCARC was a fresh start with six of
us as charter members that evening at Club 36:

Fred          KF0HS (WB0SZS)
You           WB0YOP
Dewey         WD0????
Ernie         W0GCJ
Myself        N0NB (KA0RNY)

And I think the sixth member was Ed KA0DAD.  If it wasn't him, I can't
think of who it was.

Given that I recall "charter members", I'd long thought that the present
MCARC was started from scratch and not a continuation of any previous
club.  In fact, I didn't even know of the MCRC until that certificate
was found several years ago.  And even then I didn't realize it lacked
the A until a couple of nights ago!

73, Nate
