<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It would be nice if the Luders Vatican (probably a poor choice of words right now…) might occasionally issue a directive or update or some bit of newsworthy prattle once in a while. Why have a class organization if those who administer it remain so removed and silent?. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">May I suggest that our distant president, if he can think of nothing else, at least send out a missive acknowledging the new season and the hope that it will be successful. He might even list the year's class and fleet officers. Is there no news or effort worthy of mention? Could not some news be manufactured? (e.g. Class President Admires Smooth Bottoms.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My own Mount Desert Island, Maine, fleet has shown quite clearly what results when fresh enthusiasm is wedded with concentrated effort. And this prompted after a hiatus of some 30 years of inactivity. Surely, surely. it is incumbent on our national class to occasionally give evidence that it is not only still alive, but doing something besides quietly treading water somewhere. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Good Luders people, let's perk things up!</FONT>
