Joan, when my friend's and I started going to the wheel in about 1967, there were few oldie's about to get any info, the only way we gained any knowledge was to talk, listen and learn among ourself's and other folk's from different place's, and we learned slowly but surely, the one thing that still stand's out tho, was that we all shared, we helped each other out, also later on we did'nt look down at newbie's as they came to join us, we welcomed them.
Each piece of knowledge was new to everyone once, and everyone was a newbie once.
