Hi David; I for one DO appreciate the sincere demonstration of commitment shown by Jim Reilly to make that 3000 mile trip from California to Atlantic City to specifically attend our A.C. Chapter Meeting, and he was unable to attend and enjoy our annual party invitation afterward because he had to catch his return flight back to California from Philadelphia Airport immediately after the meeting was over. This in addition to his rental car to get him from Philadelphia airport to A.C. and back and one night hotel expense. This is one hell of a dedicated chipper indeed, just to participate in a half-hour or 40 minute debate! Jim Steffner also travelled from Ohio to be with us as well, and Nate Pincus drove in from Pennsylvania. I don't know how many east coasters would have made the same commitment to fly 3000 miles west to attend a chapter meeting in California, make their pitch, and return home the same day.
