From: R. F. Hahn <lowlands-l at lowlands-l.net>
Subject: Anniversary

Dear Lowlanders,

The moment has arrived: Lowlands-L is 10 years old now, and we are revealing
our anniversary party project (at least to those of you who have not been
naughty peepers).

You can reach the presentation by either going to our homepage
(http://www.lowlands-l.net) and clicking on the anniversary button or by
going directly to http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/.

Obviously, the project isn't quite finished, though it seems presentable and
Mathieu, Henry and I have been working very hard on it (at a time when we
were particularly busy with other things), as have been a few of you who
have gone beyond the call.  Thanks to everyone who has helped with this so
far.  You can find a list of them under "About this site" and "The Project
Team".)

Several sound files are still to come, especially those that Henry is having
to make from cassette recordings.  Also, I haven't gotten around to making
my own sound recordings, have either been too busy or suffering from spring
allergies.  So, please keep participating in the creation of this resource.

The presentation will remain as a party that will end only when the last
guest has left.  So it is an ongoing project.  Please bear this in mind, and
keep helping us with it.

Short of spewing sentimental drivel, there is nothing I could or should add
to what I already say under "How it began" and "Reflections" (both under
"What is Lowlands-L?") as well as in my personal introduction (under "What
is Lowlands-L?" and "People"), except "Thanks to each and everyone of you
for your enthusiasm, support and friendship all these years!"

Yours on behalf of the administrative and anniversary project team,
Reinhard/Ron
