 Since this is the Feedback to the Forth Interest Group topic, this  seems
like a good place to bring a a "chapter co-ordination" matter.
 .
 For ever now, FD has listed Matt Lawrence under the Austin, Texas  chapter
(PO Box 180409, Austin, TX 78718) - no phone number.  I don't  think he is
there any more.  Maybe a year or more ago I tried writing  him and got dead
silence.  I think the FIG office should try, and if  they can't get in touch
with him, should remove that listing from FD.   Does anyone know the
whereabouts of Matt?  If he can't be reached,  maybe FIG could contact some of
the Austin FIG members to see if  someone else would serve as the contact
point.  This would be a lot  better than the dead silence that I fear
inquirers are receiving now.   There is a lot of computer & semi-conductor &
college activity in  Austin.  Since FIG is hurting for members, it seems a
shame to waste  that possible source.  I'm not in Austin, but if you want to
list *me*  as a contact point, feel free.  If so, use this address: P.O. Box
1613,  San Marcos, TX  78667.  You can even list my phone number (512)  396-
4981.  I do not intend to run a chapter, but I might give the  occasional
caller an encouraging word.  (I'll say Pygmy is great and  the other Forths
are no good and that there never will be and never  should be a standard Forth
and that everyone should vote for Jax for  the board.  That's to give you an
incentive to find someone *else*!)
