John; Don't switch gears on me. You stated that Barry, yourself, and Robert Eisentadt were not in favor of the auction rules. Well Barry is now on the new Board and is in a position to influence the other board members what you and he were in favor of. I'm not in favor of changing the current policy, so I don't know why you would be "trying to convince(me)and Jim Reilly to think about the 2001 ticket." Conserve your energy John. I'm not a candidate. Been there, done that! Jim Reilly would make a fine club officer. How about yourself John? Perlowski and Benedict .... now there's a pairing!
