And of those 6 others, One (drhooha) I don’t recognize the e-mail, Mike Hellweg, though I like him a lot, posts rarely and does nothing else, and I didn’t even realize that Paul was on the list, so he can’t post very often either.  With Paul and Mike, I have no problem leaving them on, just in case they want to add their “two cents” at some point.  They certainly aren’t any bother. 

 

>> Re JL, I think he would be troublesome. He lacks that infinite humility that, for example, I possess ;- ) More importantly he seems to have some very negative views of some of the Board members. The last time we tried to work with him he indeed did a sizeable amount of work yet it led to a rather uncomfortable end, mainly, to hear him tell it, because a couple of our Board members are so old fashioned an out of touch with reality and modern technology. <<

 

I suppose you’re right.  Though he seemed more open and friendly this time… maybe he’s growing up.<g>

Who?  I really think it would be in the best interest of the hobby to get that crew involved and enthusiastic about _AGA_ as an integral part of the hobby.  Speaking of Ghazanfar, he surprised me. (in a nice way)  I’ve always felt a little guarded with him… partly because I think I’m one of those “old guard” people that crew rails about, and second because I suspect, knowing his ethnic background and having met his wife, that I, as a woman, am a bit of a second class citizen anyway.  I had wanted to attend the Crypt session, partly because I was interested, and partly just to show support for what he was doing.  But it just didn’t work out time-wise.  So other than a polite “Hi, how are you doing,” we hardly spoke until toward the end of the day on Saturday when he sought me out and gave me two new species of Crypts.  So maybe he’s growing up too.

 

What about Ghazanfar on the MC to represent the “Crypt farmers”?  (seriously under-represented in the hobby as a whole right now, and with a lot of interest in Europe)

 

OK here are the proposed names so far, just to keep them from getting spread out in too many posts:

 

BOD:

 

Phil Edwards

Haven’t heard any other names proposed for the BOD at this point

 

MC:

 

Ben Van Dinther – asked and accepted

Bailin Shaw – (I didn’t realize he wasn’t on there… He has done enough that I think he should be)

Jason Baliban (is he tight with the Ghazanfar/JL crowd?  If so, he could be our man)

Larry Bugg

Efren Leonidas (make him permanent)

 

What about (I don’t know if any of them would be interested, but they all are reasonable and all have been helpful):

 

Ben Belton

Kirsten Edsmoe

Tomoko Schum

 

Karen
