Atari User Groups Exposed!
Copyright 1994  G. Richard Yamagata 

This hopefully will be a regular feature of STeve's AtariNOTES!  Each month we
will say a little about Atari User Groups around the world and the BBSs that
they sponsor.  This month we will highlight the president of one of these
valuable Atari Resources for users of Atari computers.  J Gerber is a familiar
name on the Atari ST echo.  He has continued to be an enthusiastic Atari
booster and source of information.  So, forthwith is a biograph and
information file by J Gerber himself.

STEP is an acronym for ST Enthusiasts of Portland the name of the user group
to which I belong, and of which I am President, Newsletter Editor and System
Operator of the BBS.  Coupled with this, I am also a YABA (Young American
Bowling Association) certified coach/instructor which allows me to teach young
bowlers from the PeeWees (who use bumpers in the gutter to keep their balls on
the lanes) all the way to bowlers on the collegiate levels.  That keeps me
busy about four days a week, plus my league bowling which keeps me at it two
days plus whatever time I can find to get down to the lanes and practice.
 
All in all, I am now busier since my retirement in 1986 than I ever was
working eight hours a day.  I should have my head examined for ever going to
an 8-page newsletter, but change it?  Never.  J Gerber
