The Blue Star E-mail Discussion List
Some time ago Ken Bording established a Blue Star e-mail discussion list for former members of the 48th and their attached units. There are several hundred participants consisting of crewmembers, pilots, maintenance, and others. The reflector is an e-mail list dedicated to the sole use of a particular group for the sole purpose of communicating with one another. This is a free list!!! By joining the list, you are able to type in one address and send your message to all the list's members. You are also able to post pictures to the list. We've had several members establish contact with friends they have not seen or heard from in over 30 years. To get on the list, do the following:
With your web browser go to www.onelist.com/subscribe/BlueStars Click on the new member/subscribe icon and follow the directions. Once you submit your information your subscription request will be sent to Logan Weiler for approval. The approval process is only meant to insure that we ensure the list is used by members of the 48th and attached units. Once approved you're on and you will begin receiving messages sent by other members of the list and you may send messages to the list. To post messages to the list all you need to do is use your mail program and type BlueStars@yahoogroups.com in the TO: area of your e-mail.
Please feel free to use the reflector. It is a wonderful way to save postage and the communications is pretty close to real-time. If you have any problems getting on, contact Logan Weiler at lweiler@earthlink.net.
