MLU Forum History: What/Who brought you here?

Greetings Fellow MLU-ers,

MLU is about history, and I thought it would be quite wonderful for us to learn a little history of MLU forum membership itself.

How did you find out about MLU?

What originally brought you to MLU?

How long have you been a member?

... and so forth.


I guess I'll start this one off.

I'm "Vets_Dottir" (I LOVE this handle best!)
aka "V_D"
aka"Carman",
aka "Karmen my original name"
aka "Little Miss Yappy etc"
aka "Pixie Witch"
aka (etc)

In early 2003, while researching family geneology and history, I started researching a particular Uncle, my Mom's brother, who served with the Canadian ... "Royal Winnipeg Rifles" and was murdered as a POW in Normandy in June 1944. I surfed many Military type sites and message boards looking for answers.

Someone left a message on a Legion website mentioning the MLU to someone else searching for information about something or other. I, of course, arrived here right after reading about it ... and the rest... is history

I joined this MLU Forum on March 2nd, 2003 ... it sure has attracted many many wonderful new members since I joined ... and more each day.

MLU website, and MLU forum ... IS a necessary Canadian Essential History Preservation and Education ... and almost daily FIX for many

Long may the MLU LIVE!
