Hey Danny,
Once again you amaze me. You have done something I would never do, that is to say you are glad another member didn&#039;t have fun at an HPOCA event, and it doesn&#039;t matter which member it is. As to General Lee, once again you got things turned around, what I said was perhaps I should come as one of Robert E. Lee&#039;s guys. I didn&#039;t need any shoes, so I went around Gettysburg. By the way, General Lee had a wonderful time in Maryland. I was considering simply not meeting with the bylaws committee any more, thus it would die no action taken at the end of President Allen&#039;s term. That would settle the issue of discharging my duty. I have this thing about discharging duty, once a duty taken, to resign is never an option for me. But I got a wonderful u2u from a young member, who understands that you go into committee hoping for great things, if you can get one or two it is great, anything more is gravy. As a result of this members comments, I am encouraged to go on, and finish this project. At least one young member recognizes that I have put alot into this effort, this member will not hang me out to dry, while I am working to give him something better than he has now.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, the reason I don&#039;t have fun was the 3 piles of papers I had to get the committee to read, and all the debating that we did in my room, we didn&#039;t get a proper meeting room as I requested and was told would be arranged at the Nov. board meeting when I formally took this duty. At that time the job was much simpler, changing addresses things like that, now, it has become something I didn&#039;t expect to say the least. I guess while I was working, much of those two days, y&#039;all were having fun. The highlites of my trip was Landis&#039; play day, and my visits to the American Legion Posts in Carlisle, and Lancaster. I hope you had a great time!!
