I hope that everyone will re-read Mike Skelton's post. When we all post messages on this BB, sometimes I think we tend to forget how many folks out there who silently read many of these negative statements (I'm guilty too) who don't respond to them on this BB. but do remember them. When we seek out new people to take over club duties, such as Convention Chairman, committee chairman, or club officer for example, I wonder how many people, who would otherwise consider taking on these challenges, are turned off after reading some of the negative posts, sniping, and arguments on these BBs? It is now time to curtail much of the criticisms and give our 100% support to Wanye Thompson, our 1999 Convention Chairman. He's going to need all the encouragement and help we can offer to him. (Wayne's e-mail address is zdax83a@prodigy.com) Will there be complaints about some function or activity at our 1999 convention? Sure. Collectively, we've now heard all the gripes about 1998. Let's move on and see if we can correct some of those areas of concerns next year. Archie
