I've had quite an amazing reponse to this. Many friends haver emailed me with support for the idea.

So the next step seems to logically lead me to the organization.

I will clearly need to put together some guidelines. I will put something together one this as soon as I can.

I think the next step is to put together a couple of lists. One with mentors, one with mentees.

Anyone willing to be a mentor, please contact me. Please state the main focus of you collecting and knowledge. I sure don't want to try to hook up a token collector with a chip mentor. It wouldn't be productive to match a chip colleting mentee with a slot card mentor. So I need to know your niche.

Anyone wanting to hook up with a mentor, please contact me. Please let me know your focus. If you are just looking for someone to help out with values...thats fine too. Just let me know what you're looking for, and I'll do my best to hook you up with someone. If you are a newbie...let me know what you are into.

Don't be shy. I'm starting my lists.

We've already had Mark E. who has graciously jumped in with both feet. Richard Feldman is also volunteered to help out.

If you'd like to help me out with ideas...or warnings..I'd love to hear from you. I'm not too full of myself to think I can just go "poof" and have a perfect system right off the bat. Maybe I should get a mentor to help me start the mentor program. So, you you have advice for me...send off an email.
