Dear Allen family,

Sorry to take almost 3 weeks to reply to you.  I am sending this to
MSAR-Riders (see below) with a copy to you.

For starters, I recommend joining MSAR-Riders and introduce yourselves
to the other members.  Your intro above would be fine.  On MSAR-Riders
several members are in NW Georgia:  a few are with established MSAR
units;  others, like you, just trying to get started.

Also, you can search the web archive of MSAR-Riders using Google.  I
did that for you and here are links to the first messages in some
threads that discuss MSAR in Georgia.

Finally, have you checked our web directory?  The URL is below my

Hope this helps,
