On January 2nd, 1983, I sent out the first issue of our newsletter, and continued to do so until May of 95.  The full story is in the archives, see "V.C.C.C. turns 30" here in Vintage. But here's the story in a nutshell.

There are many people to thank but for right now let me simply say,

Thank You John Lucia.
