# GIGO: The Meeting

December meeting report noting low attendance due to a snow storm and consequent cancellation of planned modem training. Covers the treasury report (in good shape), circulation of letters from FOG (Friends of Gateway), distribution of Robert Shade’s digitizer book, and a surprise visit from former member John Wells who reported on a local FIDO BBS he operates, including a Sinclair node at (414) 761-2582 on ‘The City of Flags’ BBS and a separate Genealogy node.
