Tom Smart's Newspaper Article

Postby Josh Shirley » Tue Sep 02, 2008 1:44 pm

Just want everyone to look out for Tom's article about our sports/club. He said it will be published this Thursday in the Deseret Morning News.
Lots of photos, and on their website a link to some video he has taken. He has been putting this together for the last couple months so I know it is going to be good. They will post video from Utah Lake Super Tuesday. I think he referred to that day as being "x-rated sailing" - 3.5 m sails.

Tom thanks for your efforts on exposing our sports. We all love your photos!!

Tom called and talked to me about the origins of the club and website. I tried to direct him to the link about how the site started, which was on the older website.

My question for y'all is where is that stored now? And while I'm wondering, where are the old Windlog archives stored? Sure would be nice to access them, if just for old times' sake. Some pretty good tales on the old Windlog?

Any ideas? Thanks for all that's done to maintain this critter!

For the short time while we were getting spammed some messages and windlogs were stored at these links.
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/utahwa
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/windlog/
These are now abandoned and could be deleted at any time.
I also think it would be nice to store the older windlogs and messages from the original site if they are still around.

So I tried those links, and as Mark said, they are abandoned.

So, anybody know where the old links/archives are?

I think most of what your speaking about is stored on our server. I will check today.

I am sure a copy of it is still on the radius eng.com site as well.

I can add a link to the top "Old Stuff"

Great article Tom! It really brought to light how instrumental - responsible Dimitri was in bringing the sport together in Utah. In case I never said it, thanks Dimo.
