[NSRCA-discussion] Contests

[Bill Glaze]

Thanks, Ron.  I obviously assumed too much when I wrote that piece.  My 
fault, nobody elses.  In light of the conversations about contests, I 
thought I'd put in an extremely far-out contest concept.  Obviously, I 
wouldn't want to "attend" such a contest myself.
BTW: A very belated thanks to you for our conversation last year at Muncie. 
I wasn't going to have the eye procedure done until I had spoken to you, 
regardless of what the Dr.s and other medicals said; your having had it 
done, and the fact that I knew you'd give me the straight scoop, was what I 
needed.  It worked out exactly--exactly--as you said.  Our conversation 
alone was well worth the trip to Muncie.

Bill's tongue was firmly in his cheek as he wrote that.
