schedules

[Bill Glaze]

All:
It is interesting, however, to note that, while there wasn't "time" to 
get new schedules together for classes other than Masters, there still 
existed enough "time" to put that one together.  (And, of course, being 
much more involved, it would consume more "time.")  The intentions of 
 those folks in charge of the asylum<G> wouldn't have been nearly as 
suspect,  if the only new sequence to be submitted was, say, Advanced or 
Sportsman.  I tend toward believing that, regardless of the survey 
results, there is a cadre of folks that believe the classes other than 
FAI and Masters just don't warrant the attention required.
And, please believe me, this is not any kind of a slam at Ron, but you 
note that his idea of the "Old Geezers Class" mentions only Masters. 
 BTW:  Ron may have been joking, but I feel  that his idea has more than 
a little merit.
Perhaps the other classes need an advocate specific to them?  Or an 
ombudsman  whose efforts would encompass everyone except the top classes?
