Well just when I think I am out I get sucked back in.

I had a call from my friend Doug Workman today. He tells me that he has been nominated for the AFA office of Vice President. We talked a very long time and I believe that Doug may very well be the best possible candidate to one day be President of the AFA that I have seen in my time of involvement.

Now I’m going to have to stick around just so I can cast a vote for someone I truly respect and believe has the AFA at heart instead of himself.

Doug is one of the finest fellers I know, he has helped our association everytime he has been asked from judging our competitons being a tester at our certification and we are doing a joint pre-certification (Alabama/Georgia) this year. His shop door and truck door are always open to anyone that is willing to learn somethin. He seems to alway be looking to help out in anyway, cant see anyone running against him that would have a chance.

I hope Doug can overcome Ron's endorsement and secure a spot on the board.

There are a whole lot of people in the AFA that I support. There are just not a lot of people in the current leadership that I support, FOR CAUSE. So don't act like a snide a**. It would serve you well to stop assuming that you have a clue about me or what I think, you don't. You would also be well served to stop listening to the politically based tripe that many in current leadership or their anointed spokesmen choose to trot out. You wanna ask me where I stand on something or someone, my number is listed in the membership directory.

I am told that Mr. Elsbree has also been nominated to run for VP.:confused: I have not verified this yet, so I could be mistaken.

I can speak first hand about Doug lending his skill and knowledge whenever possible. I also know that Doug is running for VP only because he was asked to by several different people from across the country. I also know that Doug is one of the few people I know of that has run for office in the AFA for all the right reasons, and not for the "fame".
