Margey, No "plan" that I am aware of to keep "that group" around for another year. Our board needs some "new blood" on it. This is always good for any organization, new ideas and new solutions. As for Lew having hired armed guards for the National, I haven't even heard a hint of that. That rumour must be coming from "the other group." People will always disagree on some things and that is good. Atleast they are thinking. I won't be at this years National so I will have to wait for Evan's postings to know what is going on. Thank God this election is almost over and a new year will begin.
