So far it has been about 4 to 6 months since I first started checking
everyone on my crew to see if they were interested or would look at me like I
had a finger growing out of my forehead..

That is a good idea..I think I'll do that..There are a couple of the guys
that are real interested but when they get around some of the
others..priorities change..But most of the guys I work with plan to play..Or
at least that is what they say...

I have been kinda looking for a copy of the SR 1 core rules so I will have
access to the original stories..I guess I should look harder...

Thanks I will need all the luck I can get...But if I don't get some activity
from these guys I am going to contact some guys I ran a 1 shot run at a local
gaming store for..I would run more games at that store, but,
unfortunately it went under a couple of weeks after I ran that game..They all
had a good time and said they would like to be in a future game of mine..I
might just take them up on it...
