[NCC] NCC Meeting & Motion

[Hal Offutt]

Tom and All,

Most kind!  I am humbled and appreciative.  I guess now it will be tough 
to back out of this job, huh?  Smart strategy there.

Please hang on to the gavel for a while.  No sense in sending it to JA 
and if you send it to Medina, it will just take up space in the P.O. and 
make them even more upset with me than they already are for exceeding 
their 30 hold deadline by a factor of four. Maybe we can arrange a 
hand-off in Dayton.

Thanks again!]

73, Hal
