Hi Sheila,
Randy Pope was just elected President. He has a tough job ahead trying
to deal with AADB financial problems and internal difficulties. But if
anyone can do it; Randy can.

Hi Scott,
I have also spoken with Randy about the SSP resolution in particular but
he has not commented or gotten back in touch with me.

Hi Janice.
Let's be clear on this, he was not elected. Actually, he was the only
one who ran, so the guy is fearless. LOL. We'll see what happens. Even
without the inicial support from AADB, we should press on.
Are there any efforts in place for anyone to go to Baltimore, or does
the Devision have any concrete plans for following through with
Baltimore? There is just talk at this point, but I may be going down
there soon to visit a friend and can always drop by the JI for a
visit. I may need to go to the IBTC to play around with some tech
stuff anyway for a research project I have in the works.

Scott,
Without spreading rumors or gossip, what happened to AADB? Why the re-organization and financial troubles?
I am also in agreement that it would be great if the DB division could go to Baltimore to educate the NFB leadership. If this does happen, I can and am willing to help, as I am just a 1 hour train ride to Baltimore.

Someone mentioned that the AADB has a mailing list, can I please have more information about that?
