[Nobbc] Status on assuming Ron's duties

[Greg Tatarian]

Hi John,

I have been considering this, but it's only been a week or so since we 
learned of Ron's death, and I think Candy will be happy to do what she 
can to help the transition.

The trouble with starting new a new Facebook account is that the old one 
will still exist, unattended and confusing people with two NOBBC 
accounts on Facebook.

There is no need to start a new autox email list account, as the 
administrator's account has been transferred to me already, but Mark 
needs to reset the password to my own. Given the holiday, I expect this 
will get worked out soon enough.

Picassa is free, and though it has limitations, is a good option for 
simple photo and video sharing. Dan likes Facebook because people can 
add material to it, making it more interactive. I'm on the fence, so it 
would be good to hear from other members to get a consensus on how much 
they value Facebook for the club.

Wendell is working on talking with Tcherek about the web site, so that 
should get squared away soon.

The membership list will be the bugaboo; hopefully Ron printed a copy 
fairly recently, or his brother, who has remote access can find the file 
and forward it to me. Again, we need to be a little patient. It's a busy 
time for the family. We are still functional and can get together for 
drives, we just don't have access to data or the ability to manage the 
Facebook or email accounts.

All of the passwords I have or will establish for the club are in a 
book, where Trish can get to it. I'll tell you where it is when we get 
together, but I don't think the passwords should be distributed. One 
exception may be that if I set up a Picassa account so that members can 
post pictures to it, a member-only password might be a good idea.

Thanks for the input, John,

Greg
