Paul; There are hundreds of "newbies", just like you, who have joined the club since the convention. I simply did not want the wrong impression given to those other "newbies" who may have thought that I had resigned, based on the contents of your post. I merely complied with the wishes of many club members who thought it was time for a change and bring in some new blood. As I've told my former club officers; "none of us hold these positions for life".
