So, Jay, when and where is the birthday party? Something to think about -- the NQ4I Open House was cancelled due to the terrible events of September 11. Perhaps it is time for members to consider hos

Arch, that's OK by me. Last year, the FCG had a bunch of funny names: Al, George, (and my favorite) Chad. I'm going with George for NAQP Phone. "Bill" just doesn't cut it, but "George in Georgia" see
Well, I did try this last year, and it worked great. Not only did it reduce repeats for the name, but it also reduced repeats on the section. I'm not as well-known as you or Bill, John, so it doesn't

So, we remain under the old rules until the end of October. This will certainly cut down on the amount of work the Secretary has to do. Which leaves us with an an interesting proposition for the SECC
