Hay Walt, so you were their in 1984.  I thought it was neat that we could
have that contested a fight and still come out a whole organization at the
end. Boy people sure spent the morning before the resolution was withdrawn
walking the floor and counting votes.  Both sides did it.  We will have to
talk about it next time we meet.
By the way the Tacoma chapter is meeting this Saturday.  Mike needs to get
your phone number.  Mark is coming down for the chapter meeting.  Hope to
see you soon.
