EXCELLENT, Archie. This is why my key words thus far have been "discuss" and "if" in most of my posts.

1) I also believe membership should not be kept in the dark.

2) "...a 'reasonable' price" (IMHO) would be found by searching a "comparisson approach" and knowing at what levels similar records have been purchased at. It seems to me that this information is somewhat available from what I grasped thus far in some of the posts I've read.

3) I don't know. This would have to be discudded, of course.

4) I don't know...but I do get your drift.

5) Bottom line: We should get out hands on whatever paper possible at the best price.

Archie - I hope some of these questions (thoughts)
receive some attention. As I said to Gene, I'm trying to remain as selfless as possible in the better interest of the club and education.

Thanks,

JB
