Well stated Bill .... I had to stir the pot last year to bring David Spragg's name up to the attention of the HOF board & general membership ... my posts on the chipboard got me in some warm waters, but who cares .... look at Baseball / Football / others clubs etc. the writers / members / fans etc. get to participate n the process and see the end results ...

Sheldon Smith
Jim Munding
Jerry Birl

are just a few deserving members ... I'd rather see members awarded this honor while they are still above ground!

If not then how about ... The Presidents Club Award ... create another non-secret award .... and that's my rant ... thanks Rich
