Re: AGA 2004 (fwd)

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Well, Ed's the one who spoke to me, and seems to be the one trying to drum
up support.  I agree that Ed isn't a forceful enough personality to chair an
event like this, but he can be a good initial scout and cheer leader.

I told him that if the BAS (or other New England club) was interested in
hosting the convention, I'd be willing to help A LOT.  But that I couldn't
be the "point person" and give TAG the attention it needs, and TAG had to be
my priority.
