I heard about thelist from a faculty member in the Miami U. Speech and Hearing Dept. because she used info from it for her students, and thought our support group, of which I was then leader, would be interested. As it happened that I was then the only group member doing email,I got on, for my husband,the PWP,and for myself as CG. 2.The earliest posts I have on file are from Jan. 1995, so I think that's aboutwhen I joined. 3. Purposes were to share material with our support group, as well as to educate ourselves. Both have proved useful. In late 1995 I started the CARE list for CGs as a sublist of the main one, a subsidiary purpose I hadn't even thought of when I joined!
