Both you and I , as well as most of my local flying buddies are in agreement that we think Rich is gonna get the spot . To be honest with you the one big takeaway for me from this election is that I always had assumed that the president was a paid position and to learn that it's not was really eye opening for me . For folks to be THAT dedicated that they would take on that responsibility for no pay really does say a lot about the devotion each candidate has to the hobby , part of the reason that I think each one of em would make a fine president , and I am truly happy our organization has such generous people who would donate their time for free like that .
Even more interesting is Hanson would be going from a well paid (fairly paid) position to one that doesn't pay. No fame, no glory, no real power...just a love for the hobby.
