The Darke County List by Jane Barr Torres
I had come to know some other online DCO
researchers when I first began on Prodigy. I met Linda
Stephens as early as 1993. Then I began to use Fidonet and
that is where I met Wally, Joe Bosserman, and Michael Reck.
Through these two services, I "met" several more people
interested in Darke County genealogy and I decided to begin
a Darke County distribution list from my IU e-mail. The year
was 1995 and that's how the DCO list began. By Jan. 1996 I had
started the DCO list in its present form on the IU majordomo
server. |

The very first message
by Jane Barr Torres
I just came across a bit of history that might be of interest to some of
you. In some printouts that I have, I found the birth of this list - the very first message
when it became a distribution list (just before it became a majordomo list). From the To:
line below, ONLY Hugh Henning and Alan Albright are no longer with us! All of the rest have
stayed (I bow to the LOYAL ONES)! If interested, read on - some of it's pretty funny.
