Happy belated birthday, Lone Arrangers!

Well, my mother, of all people pointed out that we now have 160 members, which is really quite amazing and excellent!

It's also been about a year and a month since I established this forum to help archivists- librarians- and those who do similar work, or just really like us, maintain contact in our isolated working environments.

José Cláudio Teixeira Jr, Érico Moraes, Carolyn Ravenscroft and 6 more joined Lone Arrangerson Tuesday
