since the question is 'if you had been there', and you were it doesn't apply. I still think it would be very interesting to hear some of the background from the early days of the club. How things worked there way to what we have. Like the convention. I realize there is some small tinkering every year, but it seems like such a dandy outline is in place (with all due credit to Jim Steffner and all the previous heavy lifters and volunteers). What was the trial and error in the early days.

Thats why I liked reading all the club mags that were online, love the history of it.
