Almost makes me speechless, almost. I felt the same way when I was on the board and tried to stop them from having an OFA class. Carmen wanted it, and after about two hours of discussion the board voted to have it. I voted against it, as I saw no reason to have a class where the judge knows what an x-ray says. After a few nationals, it died a natural death. The long coat class will not last. This is not one of the worst thing a board has done. It may be in the top ten for silly. Evan L.
