What's New
Committee News
Over the last months a couple of things have happened in the group. First the newsletter has a new editor - Louis Fiset. Louis is doing a fine job and he is always looking for articles and scans of interesting items. Let's all help him out to make our newsletter one of the best.
As you can see the Prexie Era Committee now has a web presence. The webmaster is Steve Davis. The main purpose of the website is to let others know about all the interesting aspects that can be collected related to the Prexie Era. Second and perhaps most important is to provide a way for members to keep up on all the latest happenings.
News From the Shows
We hope to post exhibit results related to Prexie Era material here to let others know what is being exhibited.
