Flight times at the Nats

[Joe Lachowski]

Tony,

Someone just pointed out to me that running a big class like Masters in the 
afternoon will probably run into a sun problem around 5 PM.  Come to think 
of it, I remember the sun being a problem for me last year when I flew late 
in a round when we had the delay. So starting Masters at the typical 
designated starting time of 1 PM is a bigger problem. Just delay all the 
afternoon classes starting time in the afternoon till all the morning 
sessions are done. Frankly, this should outweigh a few guys who can't get 
their instructions right. Just being there an hour or so early will 
eliminate the "so called" confusion. Plain and simple.

Well I'm finished with what I have to say. Whatever Dave and Chip decide to 
do, I'll abide by in the end.
