DVOA History

DVOA has had a long and illustrious history. Caroline Ringo has written an article on the early days. Hugh MacMillan has also written a piece on his recollections. As Caroline says, the first meet was at Valley Forge in 1967. The results of that meet are available as well as a copy of the map and control descriptions. There is also an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer of that year including a picture of participants.

If you have recollections that you think would be interesting to add to this section, or have suggestions for other material to be added, please contact Mike Bertram.
