informative and useful. We are still finding new clubs and reluctantly
eliminating disbanded clubs. Some existing clubs may not be listed.
After published Journal articles and forms, personal letters
and phone calls, there are still known clubs where contact for
current information was unsuccessful. ABS plans to update this
Directory periodically.
