Hey all (and especially Leah), Check out the fire hydrant in this pic: (URL) think I will whip up some of these. I know I have a TON of red to use for them. What do you think? One for every corner and the middle of long blocks? SteveM (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

(...) Having gone through this LUG vs. LTC back in Wamalug, I'd suggest that we keep everything under the IndyLUG name. There's nothing wrong with having more than one logo...railroads did it all the time. - Eric (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)
