I just HAVE to pass this along to you, with no hidden agenda or political motivations. It is just one helluva "cute" story....
Here goes......
I just returned from a visit with my friend Earl Hangen.
During this visit I hand delivered to him his current ACF Bulletin. I have made the arrangement to have his bulletin delivered to my home, since he has been moved to several different nursing homes over the past few years, and I wanted to make sure that his ACFB never got lost or misplaced, as did happen on a few occasions....I believe this may be the only piece of mail Earl receives anymore, and I believe it may help him in maintaining a sense of individuality to receive something with his name on it.
I pointed out to him that this issue contains a ballot for voting, i.e., for the ACF President, Treasurer, etc. Earl is an ACF lifetime member and I just thought he might want to vote.
I did point out to him that there was only one name for each position.
At that point, Former ACF Mail Play Director, Mr. Earl Hangen, a generation ago one of the game's biggest "movers and shakers", director of international tournaments, who has not said more than "Fair" or "Not so good" or "No" to me for the last 18 months looked me square in the eye and asked me with what appeared to be a very strong delberation............
"Well, then,....Why vote?"
The more I thought about it.......I found this to be absloutely hilarious, and burst out laughing
..........and I am still laughing !!
