We should all be focusing on the objective : observing first hand what is going on..................OWCP. It should not matter if this trip costs, 4K, 5K or 6K, if it is a primary concern than it should be called off. The more details we hear concerning trip expenses the more likely someone is going to raise a question and before long there will be an argument. Lets stay on track and be thankful Howie is willing to engage such a big project. Also, it is very likely someone from the other Board will make a number of positive posts and then donate to the trip. He then will pass information to the "other side". Again, lets stay on track and accept the reality of Boards like ours.
