Just to get my two cents on Richard’s email Richard is right there’s a lot of people that got a lot of hurt feelings in this club and ideas if they think should be seen but if everybody just gets mad and bitches and complains that nothing gets done so we need to find some sort of compromise to where everybody can come together and work together because there’s plenty enough talent in this club that we could do amazing things if we all just work together Sent from my iPhone
