Hey Bill Brandt,
I hope you are doing well! I would seriously consider your proposal, but it would be after the Summer Show, and if the proposal to put the issue on the ballot passes. Otherwise, it would accomplish nothing except bring up things that won&#039;t happen. If it doesn&#039;t pass, and I would do that it would appear to be &#039;sour grapes&#039;, and at this point I just want to finish the duty, how it turns out is up to the members.
It has become very obvious to me why many of my friends told me they didn&#039;t envy the position I am in. Ya just can&#039;t please everybody. 
I was talking to one of our old members this last weekend, he told me that I have given the members more than they have ever had before, and the bylaws have been amended twice before. The only thing the members knew was it was an issue on the ballot, and was published in the magazine. He told me that the members didn&#039;t realize that it is something better than before, because it has never been done this way before.
So, I try to look at all this in a positive manner. If I can open this door for our members, it will be an awful hard door to close. If I can&#039;t get it open, it will probably never be opened. But, it is really up to the members if they want progress or not. I know I am not getting as much progress as some wish, but, a little is better than none, and once it is done, we can&#039;t go back.
I appreciate the offer to type up the rough draft. If Paul wants to do it, I&#039;ll let him. He can read his own handwriting, or as he calls it, &#039;chicken scratches&#039;! If not, maybe we can figure out something.
I&#039;ll get back with you when I know more.
I gotta finish up my truck repairs, and be ready to work in the morning! Gotta go!
Once again, thanks!!!
Have a great day!
Later, Andy
