... group. All too short and couldn't join the party after as I was on a tight schedule to get back to California.

I'd like to repeat something I have said before, said at the chapter meeting and honestly believe. Jim Steffner and Nate Pincus have served the club well in their current officer roles. Either would make a fine president of the club and if elected, will have my unreserved support.

That being said, I will still appreciate any vote for me! <G>

It is unfortunate that this meeting may well be the only time all three of us appear together at a club function prior to the election. Maybe next election the candidates could apply for federal funding so they could visit all the chapters!! <G>

I would particularly like to thank Archie Black and his lovely bride Brenda for their hospitality and Dick Brach for the excellent job he did as moderator of our question and answer session. I also enjoyed meeting many others for the first time and absolutely refuse to try to name them all for fear I'll forget someone (a virtual certainty given the current state of my memory!).

Looking forward to the convention!! ----- jim o\-S
