Welcome

Welcome to the camp!!!

Update – February 19, 2026:

Once again, this website has been experiencing some issues that I’ve only now had time to address. There have been problems with “registration” and with “Log In”. I believe I’ve resolved these two issues for the time being! If you’ve registered, please try to log in! If you tried registering and hadn’t received an email to “activate”, it should now work properly. Please feel free to email me at webmaster@thewho.net if you have any problems!

I have spent the past 5-6 months updating the “Historical Events” and “Concerts” – The “main feature” on our front page! This is also the data that we automagically feed to Facebook for our page “Today in Whostory” (https://www.facebook.com/whostorytoday). I am not completely done, but I’ve found a LOT of new stuff to display and I’m proud of the progress! There is more to come!
