It has been just over two years since I replaced Rick Zach. (Does anyone realy replace Rick Zach?) Rick as you may know moved over to Chair the Windows2000 Server group and also helped create www.BostonUserGroups.com, the umbrella/hub for all User groups in the Boston area. Replacing me as Chair of Boston FrontPage will be Mr. Richard Bezjian. Richard has been involved with User Groups from their early days when the BCG started holding its meetings at MIT in the late Seventies. He is a Veteran in the Computer industry and listed in the Who^Òs Who of Software. He currently is the founder and president of Boomerang Software, Inc. of Belmont Massachusetts. In a recent collaboration with Microsoft, Boomerang Software developed the ^ÓTotal E-Commerce Solution for FrontPage^Ô, which has given Mr. Bezjian a close working relationship with many FrontPage users. ++++++++++++++++++++ I will, along with Rick Zach and Brad Dinerman, continue to serve in the background on the Boston FrontPage Board of Directors, but look forward to being more active in my role as Vice President, BostonUserGroups, Inc.
