Hi Glen

I would support the notion of ADDITIONAL categories as long as the main, 
long-tenured 48 hour (no time limit) category remains viable for single-op all 
band unassisted entrants - as, to me, that is the "grand-daddy" of them all - 
kinda like the DECATHALON in the Olympics..  I think it would be a real mistake 
to dilute that - even though I can see the day coming when I probably won't be 
able to handle it myself - HI!  If the sponsoring organizations are willing to 
ADD such classes for others who have less time to devote (or less energy), 
then that would seem to make sense to me.  I would line up behind it....

So YES - your idea for additional categories would make sense to me.  Just 
pse do not amend what is the CLASSIC version of the contest - eg: no NEW COKE - 
let's stick with the "CLASSIC COKE" for those who still can handle it!  (HI)

JEFF
