I have attended six national meets and have had a great time at every one.

To all the people who have already worked on Oshkosh for this year, THANK YOU!

To all the people who will work on Oshkosh for 2021, THANK YOU!

To all the people who have planned and worked on Charlottesville for 2021, THANK YOU!

To all the people who will plan and work on Charlottesville for 2022, THANK YOU !

We must all recognize that the people who make national meets possible are volunteers. The office staff, of course, help tremendously, but the volunteers make it possible. This is the second year in a row that something outside the control of the host club has caused the work to be doubled for the hosts. They came through with flying colors last year, and they will this year. Please don't criticize the work these people do. Just enjoy it, and show your gratitude.

Or stay home if it is not your cup of tea; and don't criticize those who make it possible, and those who enjoy it.

W. Michael
