1958 Membership List

[Woody Woods]

Stan, you should move more often! Kicking the attic dust supplies surprise
echoes not just to you, but to everyone on these lists, dating back to the
inconvenience of postage stamps -- thanks.

Would anyone care to contribute further to the history of lep
organizations-- particularly Lepidopterist's Society? As a relative newcomer
who appreciates the importance of the many unpublished contributions to this
field, I hope that some will respond.

Woody
