Hi Jeremy,

A couple of years ago Jim McNeil came over to Jackson, Mississippi to visit our club at a fly-in we had. You know, the year before our AMA VP elections. At the time, I was the JPO Dist. V Rep. I thought it would be a good time to speak with Jim about JPO and jet issues. I introduced myself as the JPO Dist. V Rep., and he wanted to know if JPO was one of the SIGs!! I told him yes, and I wanted to talk to him about some of the jet issues before the executive council, and get his view of what was being discussed, etc, etc. He immediately blew me off, and would not talk to me. He told me to put any questions in writing and mail it to him via the postal service. I couldn't believe it. I know he didn't have a clue what I was talking about, and was not going to embarrass himself by trying to discuss jets issues. I am not surprised in the least that you might have had to explain to him what a jet was. It is too bad Dist. V didn't elect Tony Stillman as VP in the last election. He is an active, concerned modeler with ears.

After Steven started this thread by asking us to write our Dist. VPs, I said what the heck, I would write to McNeil anyway, so I sent him an email. I never heard from him.

I am convinced that before Dist. V can have any representation and input to AMA, we have to elect a new VP.

Better luck to all the other districts out there. Maybe us Dist. V guys could write to another Dist. VP who cares.
