I have been trying to keep up with all of you. D/1 is doing ok - I would hate to put pressure on the individual squadrons. We are hanging on - with 2 squadrons wondering about the next years bridge. I don't think we should be competing I think we should put our energies into keeping afloat.</P>

I<BR>think it has been interesting but I also think it is enough. Since we<BR>are having trouble keeping squadrons just going and each one has a<BR>special favorite area, I
think we should allow this interest to grow.<BR>I don't think this generation of officers is so interested in<BR>competition. The ones that win are always pleased. They are the few<BR>that send in data . This is maybe 3 squadrons out of 22.
