Joe and Larry,
What I would really like to see our nominating committee of three past-presidents and our current president accomplish is the combination of the two "sides" that we have all detected into one combined group of nominees. It may not be possible at this point, but it might be and it's worth the effort. I have suggested to both Mike and Graham different ways of doing that, and those with more experience of the Club's operation than I (and that is almost everyone) can probably suggest even better ways.
Both Mike and Graham are well-intentioned with the best interests of the Club at heart and share many similar ideas of how the Club could work even better. As I have said to each of them, I'd be happy to work with either of them next year.
It's not possible to over estimate how difficult the past year has been for the Board. I will not try to characterize the two different points of view I saw among fellow Board members around what we are calling financial improprieties--indeed, I held each of them myself at different times. That episode should be behind us now and we should concentrate on the future. We have a very strong Club and in these times of economic distress we have the chance to make it stronger.
