Gorm if I could clone myself I would!!!  It would give me the best scapegoat around  8^)



      Look there were some problems with scheduling and everything that could be done,
was done.  All you need to do is figure out whether the fighter in you is more
interested than the A&S side of you and act accordingly.  I do not believe that anyone
will look at you in a different light no matter what you choose.  Frankly, whether you
choose to serve the A&S side of yourself or the fighting side, you will be a benefit to
us all and to yourself.  Just do what you want to.

Just my suggestion to him and anyone else in the same boat,

Duke Logan
