I don't think anyone works harder than Bobby. I know whoever is managing the National also is always on the move, but Bobby stands there day after day. Bob Drescher is also one who gives so much of his time at the announcer's table every show with little recognition. The same for our board members. One of the first thing I had to do when I was on the board was deal with the fact that a board member had told Bobby he could not film the National as we had copy written it. I told the board it was not copy written, and was open to the public. They backed off and we have had the advantage of Bobby and his films now for years. I have been told that now the board takes a portion of Bobby's income, and maybe that is because the club used to have an organization film the National, but they quit some time ago. It appears that Bobby is not going to film after this year. It is no longer of value to him to give up his time, his efforts and his equiptment. I would suggest a solution is in order, by asking Bobby to continue and to find a way for it to worth while for him to do so. All I know is what I have been told. It is up to you to prevent him from leaving this venture, and only you can prevent forest fires. Evan In a message dated 9/16/2014 2:20:39 A.M.
