Soon the fog of forgetting will cover how it all started and nobody will care while having a good time, but as long as one or two still remember let us write it down:

It was Susanne who started it when she asked if we should try to make a German Mudcat gathering. We soon realised that Muenster was a much better chance than Kiel (close to Denmark) at least to get Andy (close to Italy) to join. Little we did think that Muenster was so attractive (and close) that people even from the offshore islands of Europe joined.
