Belinda; Don't be too hard on yourself. You and Wayne are not to blame. I blame those who post items meant to inflame before checking things out. A private email to me would have answered the concerns that those had before others jumped on the bandwagon. As for the note on the COTY/TOTY ballot.... I take full responsibility for that. My intention was that I simply didn't want club members "wasting" their TOTY vote on a "Silver Strike Of The Year" contest that is being undertaken by the Silver Striker's Chapter. If others feel that I have erred by doing so, I offer my apology. Again, the SS Chapter requested this change. It was not done by any club officer or Convention committe person.
