Membership
SPE (Society of Philosophical Expositors)Established Jan 1974 by Walt Robbins, Jr., ID0001; Dick Davis, ID1792 and Roger Davis, ID1793.
This correspondence club was organized to exchange ideas and thoughts on a wide variety of subjects and to ultimately discuss them.
This correspondence was all typed and or written and sent through the U.S. Postal Service. This was long before the age of the computer.
The letterhead we used was crude and was mimeographed (the reason for the purple color)
I am sure that I do not have all the correspondence of the group as I recall many more exchanges than I have presented here. This is, however, a good representation of the types of subjects that we exchanged.
