Yes, it was very sad about Margaret but she had stopped posting long
before she died. I don't know what happened to Jack. Maybe Ed knows?
I found this blast from the past on the RFC Cookin's link:
http://www.recfoodcooking.org/cookins/show.html?id=7
There's Jack at a cook-in in San Diego! 1993
That link shows a lot of the old cook-in photos and who attended.
Really, people travelled all over the country to meet and cook together!
There are a lot of posters from back in those days who simply dropped
out of sight. Do you remember Dimitri? IIRC he lived in California.
He'd met people at one of the West Coast cookin's from back in the day.
Kay Hartman? Mimi? I'm reaching.
