We've started a Heidkamp family e-mail list. We're using Google Groups because Bernie thinks it's the easiest to administer and most customizable. To join the list, simply enter your e-mail in the box on the right and follow the directions.

Once you are a member of the list (also called the "google group"), all you have to do is e-mail heidkamp@googlegroups.com and it goes to everyone on the list.

Anyone can join or take themselves off the list at any time.

We're not giving up on the idea of a Heidkamp blog -- and many Heidkamps have joined it -- but we know there has long been a need to have a more direct method of communication.

The blog, though, can still be useful for posting images and photo albums as well as archiving more permanent information. And as you can see below, this has been the place where Heidkamps around the world have found us. Bernie's gets e-mails from random Heidkamps all the time. It's important we maintain a web presence, at the very least.
