My opinion (and it's not worth too much) is, there should be NO "Police
Persons".  If everyone had the attitude of, and acted like, a Boy Scout,
then all the bands (and the world) would be in much better condition. 
Let us all make a resolution, and keep it, to raise our operating habits
to higher levels in 1997 and beyond.  HAPPY NEW YEAR es 73 de
