Hi Kathy, I think it would be a great idea. I have talked to her in a superficial way a few times in the intervening years, but although she has always been cordial, the hurt was still obvious In her response. I think it hurt me even more than the rest of the board, because Charlene and I were friends before there WERE any AGA conventions. I understood the need to get the convention under better BOD control, but the loss of that friendship was the biggest sacrifice I've made for AGA. I'd LOVE to see her at the convention.

She may just ignore me/us, but if it was okay with you guys I was thinking of calling/emailing (please send me email address if you have it and phone number) and letting her know that we have missed her and we are all heartsick over what happened years ago. That it would be nice for her to see the convention process that she started the AGA on and that we would be willing to comp her registration and banquet (and ? for a guest). I don't know if the AGA has the budget for that, but this is one thing that has been a sad thing when I think about it. I would be happy to be this liason since I am sort of out of the loop. What do you guys think? I will do whatever the MCM decides, but since we leave tomorrow am, I would have to do it quick.
