Ed,
I don't know about Terry's explanation.  If I understood him wrong, then so did Landis.  Our vague mintes read "Debbie King reported on insurance and answered questions about insuarnce coverage for 2 shows and board meetings.  Jim Muhs made a motion to have $2,000,000 and medical payments of $100,000 coverage. Seconded by Larry Gay.  Passed"

According to the financial report dated 1/1/03 thru 7/8/03, there was a payment made for insurance for $3221.   In the 10/31/03 financial report, it shows $4451 being paid out for insurance.  Don't have a clue where that extra $1200 went.  I'd want to see a policy before I believed anything Terry Allen says at this point.  

I heard a good quote from an old timer last week.  He said "If a man's word is no good, then his name on a piece of paper isn't either."  Boy do I know what he means now.

As for the intertwining, Andy just doesn't have anyone to talk to at home and this is the only place he can get a response.  As long as he's sticking up for Terry, he has an additional 8 friends.  I'm not sure, but I think 98dba is Terry Allen's son.  His boy would have graduated about 1998 and his last initial would be Allen.  Just a guess though.  John (C-IL) is Terry's "good old boy" buddy who also happens to be the Vice-President of I&amp;I.  His word is about as good as Terry's.  John doesn't like the I&amp;I board members, so he's teamed up with Terry because he knows Terry doesn't like them either.  The I&amp;I club can't wait for John's term to expire.  Yieldmap is Bill Meeker's son and of course Bill is on the board.  

I'm seeing my lawyer tomorrow morning.  Today the new editor informed me that I WOULD be allowed to say goodbye in the magazine "if it's done in good taste" and of course Terry will have to approve it.  BUT the deadline was today and that letter will require a little extra effort since this is the last time I'll have my name in the magazine.  I think they timed that on purpose.  I'll know more about what I can and can't do tomorrow.

At this time, I'm still planning on going to Lancaster (if my job at that time will allow it).  Landis deserves our support as he has already put a lot of work into it already.  And if ever there was a time for a large group of members to get together, it's now.  We need a massive number of members to show the board how we feel.  So I'll be there and I'm sure I'll need a beer or two by then.  Look me up.
