Munie is as close to the population center of the US. as the AMA could
get. That is why I have been told AMA set up there tent there.Moving the
nats around the country would probably cost the NSRCA some $$$. Do we
need that drain on our bank account? NATS entry fee $100 moving the NATS
around would probably increase that amount to! That being said I will go
to the NATS no matter what out of the way place that can be found if at
all possible.

The person that headed that committee was Don Atwood, if I recall. He
is no longer involved, however, Lance Van Nostrand was involved in that
committee as well. I'll check with Lance to see where we stand.

Tony, Lamar appointed someone to head up a NSRCA review of what

you know
what has been done, and where we are?
