Well, I think a searchable, online database would be a hell of alot
easier, and cheaper. I think the yearbook is alot of wasted dead trees -
HOWEVER...I did find it useful this year.
Being the editor for the newsletter of a year-old local society, I
used it to find AHS members in this area who might be interested in
joining our local group. And that is something I thought was good.
Something the Yearbook should include and does not is what local hosta
groups someone belongs to. That could be easily added to a computer
database for next to nothing, and cost no dead trees.
