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!
