There are 16 members in the group, some with modules, some without . Some of us knew each other before this project, but this is the first thing we have done together as a group. We have an agreement every section will be made available whenever the group displays the layout, even if the owner can not make it. We also agreed that if any one leaves the group their sections will stay in the group and a new “owner” will be found.

 

Current group members are: Dave Biondi, Richard Brennan, James Eckman, David Gill, Isaac Good, Ron Kolodzieczak, David Kreutzinger, Pat and Ronnie LaTorres, Scott Maze, Frank Markovitch, John Roth and Reg Shaffer. Dave Biondi, Dave Connery, Brad Lloyd, Jim Long, and  Ken Lunders are former members.

 

Sadly we lost Jim Long recently, without Jim I doubt the YSL would have ever been built.
