[SEL] stationary-engine -- 10th Anniversary 19 September

[Rick Rowlands]

I had no idea I was getting in on the ground floor of the list! I joined in 
late 95 or so right after we acquired the Tod Engine but before any 
dismantling work started in Sept. 1996.  It was Dave Rotigel who got the 
ball rolling and convinced several list members that they needed to come to 
Youngstown and help this young guy out, and because of the volunteers that 
came from this list we were able to save the engine.   I've been a member 
ever since.
