IT Update - Linda Diedrich, a non-collector that has been one of WINS most ardent supporters who has been helping behind the scenes as host server owner, suffered at least two strokes the week of March 21-27. I'm sorry to report that Linda is not doing well and was hospitalized on May 24. Her family has transferred her to the Phoenix area where she is expected to remain hospitalized for at least 6 weeks.

Linda made attempts to keep the dYneX group server and design business going, but heavy medication doses took their toll and several things fell by the wayside. Unfortunately, I missed the signals and my own domain was one of them. However, it will probably be back online by the time you read this. Rest assured that I have taken the appropriate steps to ensure that the same thing didn't happen to the WINS domain.

Web Site Update - The new "Member's Collecting Interests" page is being updated on a regular basis and members can even provide a recent images of themselves while sharing their collecting interests. How many times have you been exchanging email with someone only to wonder what they look like? How about sharing an image of yourself with you fellow club members?

The only real restriction is that to participate, you must be an active member. Not an active member, but you'd like to be? Just enroll on one (or both) of the two opt-in email Lists. Then gather your information together and send it to me in an email. I'll take care of the rest.

Auction Update - Auction 21 featured 9 member/sellers offering 53 lots which drew 13 member/bidders closed on May 8. Auction 21 will open on June 19 at 7:00 PM MST. Please submit your items soon.

Thank you kindly,
