After 27 years, VASM, the SM support and informational/educational group which I founded in 1982 still exists. Although the group was more or less "hijacked" by a group of guys who failed to maintain it's programs a few years past, we have managed to rescue it and mak it active once again. The membership is gradually increasing and various activities arranged. Since I am now 86 I no longer actively serve or indulge but am an honourary member. Back in the 1990's we actually became accepted as a registered Provincial non profit society. Our activties include such things as demonstrations, forums, play parties etc. I was given much help by such organisations as GMSMA and members of Chicago Hellfre Club which gave me Associate Membership in 1984 and I remain an associate member. Through the many contacts I made across N. America and the UK and Europe, I have been able to enjoy many close friendships as well as discovering the joys and benefits of truly brotherly relationships. VASM has a website which can be logged onto at http://www.vasm.bc.ca/
