# The North American Timex Sinclair Association

The Florida User Groups, who organized [the 1988 Orlando] Winter Fest, came to Orlando with a plan to organize a national Timex Sinclair association. “National” was changed to “North American,” a more appropriate name wihc includes the Canadian user groups. Eric and Mary Lynn Johnson are the key persons. The two had major parts in organizing the 1987 Orlando Winter Fest. [Eric Johnson](http://localhost/tag/eric-johnson/) is the sysop of the BBS which was set up as the communications center for the fest. This BBS will be continued and will become the communications center for information, suggestions and volunteers for work in the organization of the North American Timex Sinclair Association.
