Ed: Thanks for the well thought out response. I have been a member of PGCA for only three years now but in that brief amount of time I have detected a good bit of "home cooking". While it is fine to enjoy each other's company it is not so fine not to invite new blood, with new ideas, new outlooks and other new friends into the PGCA fold. There is not a whole lot of youth to be seen in the BOD and while I am no "spring Chicken" myself I know that there are many young Parker afficianados out there who could and would contribute a lot to the organization. I'll say again: "If You're Not Growin' Yer Dyin'" Keep up the good writing. I really envy you your forays into the Caribbean. I'm an ex Tin Can Sailor and It has been a lifelong dream to finish my life doing what you & your wife are doing. Do you scuba in Aruba?
Best Regards, George
