Hey Ed,
What I am seeing here in the website is considerably different from the input I am hearing at the Louisville Farm Machinery show. There has been many members from all across the US, Canada, and I have even talked to an overseas member. Of all of them only one comment of this situation has not been very positive, and it was not negative. From all complaints, most are coming from one geographical area, taking into account traditionally Louisville gives a good cross section of HPOCA, I feel there will be nothing out of the order at Lancaster. As a matter of fact the comments being made at our booth are largely complimentary. As far as the nominating committee, why would we need to reconvene a nominating committee when one is seated? One for the record? On what basis? It will be no different from other WGT, just a different place and time.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Later, Andy
