Well, I finally got the answer to the question I asked my employers 2 weeks ago. The answer? REQUEST DENIED. I will not be going to Chattanooga for the June meet. I thought I had a job; instead, I've discovered the job has me. I'm in prison. And I owe my soul to the company store . . . I'd like to tell these SOBs to go to hell but I can't pay the mortgage with righteous indignation, so I shall simply swallow my pride, cry a little, and wish you all the best of times in Chattanooga! In the meantime I will be having my attorneys prepare a brief on why I should be allowed to go to Carlisle . . . Mark M
