Hey, Ol' Slick Willie er.. ur.. JR, Tell 'em the "...rest of the story." Right after that Ol' Horrace was reelected big time by a write-in vote of the District VI constituency. Back in those days when modelers were modelers, more people were aware of things going on.

They recognized an officer that WORKED FOR THE MEMBERSHIP, AND NOT PERSONAL BLOAT.[>:] You bet your sweets that a majority of the EC disliked me because I set an example of WORK that the majority of the EC did NOT like.
During that first 2 years, I continued RC instructing, competition Pylon, organized a District Fun-Fly Team Championship, plus upgraded to B-737, then DC-8 at UAL, plus sending out hundreds of letters to Dist. Clubs. Some EC members couldn't believe I could "still fly models". I did.
They sure as _ell complained about my Dist. future activity lists in my columns and because I told what was going on. Bureaucrats cannot stand a producer.
Actually I had NO PEERS -- one that is of equal standing with another -- those country boys couldn't hold this East Texas Hill Billy Cowboy a light to see by, much less rank as *peer*.

EDIT: ADDED: BTW, JR you are so grossly unlearned: >>" Horrace Cain, only VP ever refused placement on the ballot for a second term by his peers on the EC."<<

Nay, NOT so, Toady boy. Jim McNeil got the same treatment the next year. However, as you said, HIS PEERS, as myself being far above the peer level, I refused to vote against JM regardless of personal feelings. I considered that the job of his constituency. End of edit.

You don't see any (except One-TWO I know of) DVP doing squat now, other than enjoying those paid Trade Show visits.

There's one for you JR![:-] Are the expenses of having the EC members still charged to AMA Officer Expenses (member dues cost) so as NOT to dilute the *profits* of the Trade Show?
You have the telephone-charm so get a straight answer on that one.
