Little surprises

A lot of the fun at Scuttlebutt World Headquarters is the little surprises that seem to happen each day. It is not like we have a team of reporters covering the globe - we don't. But what we do have is a community of supporters, and each day we are reminded how lucky we are.

One of today's surprises came in a letter mailed to us from Stu Argo. I have never met Stu, but he is one of the famous guys in our sport, having done his share of A-Cup events and plenty of other globe-trotting. Inside the letter from Stu was a note and a disk that purportedly holds Scuttlebutt Issues 92-134.

Stu undoubtedly read the ra-ra about Scuttlebutt publishing its 2000th issue, how the archived issues begin at Issue 194 from October 1998, and that the newsletters prior to that were "gone." Somehow he had retained these early issues, and took the time to send them to us.

Thanks Stu, and thank you to the Scuttlebutt community that brings to Scuttlebutt these little surprises. - Craig Leweck
