BRAVO _ BRAVO_BRAVO JOHN MARK HARDIN TERRELL TX Coupers, I've watched this thread develop and I think that just about everything that could be said, has been said. If there were any simple answers, we would not have had this long a conversation. I'm an EOC member. I'm also a a member of AOPA, EAA, VAA, and I'm pretty active in our local chapter, EAA 932. Are there things that I think each of these organizations should be doing or be doing better? Of course. But, in general, I think each organization has many members to satisfy and each organization has a finite workload that it can carry. I stay a member of each because I want to keep abreast of what's going on and I want to be able to use these organizations as a resource when I have concerns in their area of expertise. Would I like each organization to do more? Of course. But, just as their resources are finite, so are mine. I spend many hours each month working on behalf of my EAA Chapter and the small airport where I keep my coupe. I spend a lot more time in this work than I fly. If I had more time available, I'd spend it the same way. I don't have time to do all the things I'd like to do for the chapter and the airport. And, without the time and energy to do more for the other organizations, I don't think I want to spend a lot of time thinking up all the potential things I would do if only I had the time to do them. A lot of the ideas expressed over the past few days make a lot of sense. But, thinking up ideas is really very easy. Doing them? That's another story. I will be very interested in reading about what any of you are doing or are planning to do. But I think that all the talk about what isn't being done is going to get a quick hit from my delete key.
