Just completed some unofficial research on Charter Members. I went back in all the old logs of Pike Powder Hike, figuring that most charter members in Wisconsin would have gone for that at one time or another. Being that it is in the SE part of the state, there could have been others from farther away who never went there, and I found five charter members from other states who had found the oldest cache in Wisconsin, but here are the results of my research…
The CO of PPH, kbraband, is NOT a charter member. Neither is jvechinski, nor natloh2. Those cachers probably were around at the time charter memberships were being created, but they evidently did not become GC charter members, for whatever reasons. I did verify that PharmTeam, Hotdogs_Off_Trail, and Trudy and the Beast are charter members, but I also found that leelansinger and The Cheeseheads are charter members.
Maybe hack1of2 has found more in his historical gleanings.
