RE: [RC] RE: AHA Letter/Three digits--Today's history trivia - heidiAt 11:17 AM 7/8/2004, Ridecamp Guest wrote:Gee, now I am feeling old. :) Sue Nance AERC #819 Gene Nance AERC #893It would be interesting to know what years these 3 digit numbers represent. They started the year that Joe Long first got us computerized. Prior to that we didn't have numbers. Many of us were members prior to the numbering system. What Joe did was give himself #1 (as we already tee-heed over <g>) and then go by region. Here in the NW, our numbers started somewhere around 700 and went up toward 1000. Since we were alphabetical at that time, one can see why Tim Hansen had a number in the 700's, Sue Nance (whose last name was then Kelly, I think--at any rate it came after Hansen and before Nance) was 819, Gene Nance was 893, and Heidi Smith was 937. Other riders with lower or slightly higher numbers were from other regions. Joe could likely tell you what year that was--but the secrets of our "exact" years in the sport are safe--all you can tell is that we are "older than that." <g> Heidi =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
