Amy, I agree with you. I won't drive that far. The farthest I have ever driven
is 10 hours and that is starting to sound long now. I think that you will end
up with about the same number in each futurity as there is now, minus all the
dropped futurities. Ann

this .................. How
many people are willing to drive the extra it will take to get to the
futurities from the consolidation.
Say you are used to driving 5-10 hours and an occasional close
one..............
Are you now willing to drive 12-20 hours for most futurities and an
occasional close one ??
Will we lose you if we increase your drive drastically ?? Or will you do
what it takes to get to a futurity ??
I reference Christine's post about the SE region being from Florida to West
Virginia over to east texas. South Florida to West Virginia is at least a
20 hour drive if not more and 2 days of driving. Are people good with this ?
Will you still participate ?? Or will you be disenfranchised having to do
this ?
I am really anxious to know how this would affect your decisions to nominate
and enter.
