[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[John Konneker]

Ron,
I'm sorry.
I left out that my proposal would exempt you from any adverse effects of the

You did such a great job on the Nats banquet last year I was trying to stay on your
good side.  I have to admit I was hoping by doing so I would get a better table than
the one you assigned me to out in the lobby!
