Dennis,  I grabbed at random an example post from my archive and forwarded 
it to you privately (to prevent a loooong post here). Should give you an 
idea of what we're talking about. Last posting to our group was in July 
2002. There were 47 members of the group listed in the "To: " header of 
that last posting.

Actually, the acronym was MCGP for "Military Collector Group Post". I'm 
sure the original poster didn't recall correctly the acronym and used MRCG 
out of sheer familiarity of seeing it often recently. Something I would do 
myself probably. After all, it's been nearly three years since we've 
enjoyed seeing these.

OOoohh, I'd love to be out there. Cost is biiiig factor, especially since 
I'm unemployed. But only for only a while longer, I hope. Otherwise, it 
would be cost *and time* even if I was back into engineering employment. 
Dang. California family vacation is in our plans anyway someday. See you 
folks in some future August :-)
