"For all I know, George may have someone else in mind for the Exhibit Chairman's job as I see that anyone interested in obtaining an Exhibit Application in 2002 is to contact the Convention Chairman ... according to the Contact Page on the club's website."

I don't know about the contact page - have not seen it. Just for the record, all people who held positions last year will be asked to do the same in 2002, I just haven't gotten to everyone yet. I've a vacation next week and plan to spend a lot of time on Convention 2002 at that time. Also, the organization of the convention staff will be a little different than in prior years - not radically, but organizationally. Each major area of responsibility will be headed by a Director who will have the responsibility and authority to make his area a success. The Convention Chairman will direct all questions asked of him to the appropriate Director.
