The October's President's column was a discussion of the various facets of this hobby and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) available to those with an interest in joining them.

I disagree with statements made that Dave Brown seems to only base his column on lawsuits, the potential for accidents and safety issues, or insurance. I read his column most every month. If he's talking about something I don't have an interest in, I turn the page. Possibly, Dave isn't the best man for the job of President of the AMA, possibly he is. Election time will tell the tale. If he's re-elected, then the membership has given him a vote of confidence. Quite obviously some of you feel it's time for a change! That's fine with me, as I have no real opinions about him.

An old R/Cer friend of mine, since deceased, participated in the Nats many years ago and met Dave there. He felt Dave was a fair and friendly guy, helpful to the other participants. This was in contrast to other "Big Name people" still active in this hobby whom were quite the opposite!
