Why is this a BIG DEAL ? Are we concerned about "Fame & Fortune", or Tennessee Genealogy ? None of us "elected" Billie, but we got on, just the same. Sometimes working on the "Mushroom Theory" (warm, in the dark, & fed horse stuff), but somehow it worked. The assistant coordinators aren't elected & that doesn't seem to be a problem. Besides, it would end up being a beauty pageant of a sort. I don't know these people, or their qualifications. How could I vote, intelligently ? I'm happy with someone at the national level,who hopefully, is aware of qualifications, making a choice. If I'm not happy, I can always go away & go back to doing genealogy, on my own. I want TnGen to succeed. Let's all give it a shot and see how it works out -- Jess Lewis >> http://www.cafes.net/jlewis/ <<
