My response was one of concern. A statement was
made that suggesred we are on a course of stagnation
and destruction. My response addressed the
staterment with: "If we are indeed...." (If being
the key word.)

I've implied nothing but concern regarding what was
said. I reacted with "if" this is the fact, then the
current situation needs to be corrected. Perhaps
Jim needs to define to you and others as what he
meant. His message was very clear to me as it was
to some others.

Regarding six montha ago: Six months ago (or so) I
saw a woman who I love cry out a few words that
troubled me very much and continues to trouble me.
Six months ago (or so) I saw a man I love step down
from what he built. The club lost something six
months ago that I'm beginning to see will not be
found again in the non-progression mode we are in.
If it is to be found, we must change direction in a
forward movement in order not to become stagnent and
then destruct. When stying put and not moving
forward...then one is going backwards. I feel there is
more to this club than a one week convention. I see
exactly what Jim does...others do, too.
