Hello Andy and listers,
If you think that our gentral sessions aren't spread out enough I know of
some organizations whose general sessions go on in to the wee hours of the
morning.  For example when we were in Houston earlier this month our
Friday   evening session began at 7 P.M. and didn't let out until 4
O'clock on SAturday morning.  WE began our Saturday sessions at 10 A.M.
and they lasted until 3 A.M. on Sundayy.  I heard that one year the main
speaker of the evening didn't give his presentation until 3 the next
morning and didn't finnish until 5 30.  Forget about sleep that night.  I
have yet to see that happen at one of our National Conventions.  Believe
me we have it made with our present convention schedule, but perhaps as
the need arises adjustments will be made.
