[vcf-midatlantic] The good old days of user groups.

[Adam Michlin]

Pre-pandemic, Tony Bogan and I were thinking about starting up a 
traditional Apple II Users Group headquarted at InfoAge.

Sadly, the pandemic required me to move to Charleston, SC for employment 
reaons (more about that soon). Maybe someone else will pick up the 
mantle with Tony once the idea of bringing physically people together in 
person with like interests is back in vogue.
