Careful, George. I'm the AOPA rep at our local airport (Danbury, CT),
and I'm constantly at work "behind the scenes". Politics, like elephant
gestation, takes many months.

Take no offense, Rip. George is referring to OUR truly "do-nothing" AOPA
rep here in Iowa City -- an airline pilot whom I have never met in over 7
years of daily life on the field.

In fact, yesterday I found out that he LIVES IN MINNEAPOLIS. Our AOPA rep
is a guy who (a) only wants the title for his resume, (b) none of us has
ever seen at a single meeting, and (c) refuses to quit the position, in the
face of overwhelming local opposition to his position.

Sadly, in the face of (c), AOPA will not remove him, and thus we are left
with no representation from AOPA while we find ourselves in the fight for
our lives here in Iowa City.

And, no, George -- that guy had absolutely, positively NOTHING to do with
this article -- guaranteed.
