RE: [RC] RE: AHA Letter/Three digits--Today's history trivia - Mcgann, Barbara

Heidi,

I agree with your analysis of the early numbering, but I'm wondering if it went 
by region?  My number 840 is right between Sue Nance (Kelly) and Gene Nance 
which makes sense as M is between K and N, BUT I was in a different region at 
that time...lived in Utah and was in the Mountain Region.  So maybe Joe went 
alphabetical with all of the then current members regardless of region??

It 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
