Lots can be done by e-mail and has been more then ever this year. Don't get me 
wrong
as I was only remarking on the fact that we run this association on volunteers 
and
even at a distance everyones voice is important. I have more then enough to 
handle
just with the timing thing. And no, Brian you can't have my job yet. Dave and 
all of
the out of staters, your input is important and is concidered. We deal with 
pages of
requests each year for rule and safety issues, It's getting where Dan has to 
borrow
someones  head just to pull a little more hair.
