Ahhhhh, does that answer your pointed question Bob? Do you still think that the club is going to get new members with such negative images being projected of belonging to the CC & GTCC? (**You don't have to join CC & GTCC anymore ... why do it? Join us instead ..... the local chapter)

I don't know about you Bob (and others).... but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that "the founding fathers" may have made a big mistake when they authorized chapters. It may be time to cut 'em loose and let them do their own thing. Then we won't have to deal with all these silly arguments about what the American Numismatic Association does or doesn't do... which has nothing to do with how CC & GTCC is run. CC & GTCC is not a CHAPTER of A.N.A. as former VP Janice O'Neal has stated on numerous occassions ... and which still has not sunk into some folks heads.
