Bob,

You can add my name to the list you are putting together. From 1979 through the early 90's there was a Florida Pattern Association which was very active in promoting the pattern scene. At its peak we had around 120 members. I was president (and treasurer and newsletter editor) from 1982-1984. Back then it was not unusual to have ~25 entries in the Novice (now Sportsman) class!
