[Erik P Conard]

you guys have a great outlook in that your sensible assessment
of problems facing all of us, i.e., lawsuits, dues, expenses, make it look like you have indeed worked in the central office!
We do not know what's ahead but it would appear to me that it
is in good hands.
As to making fun of a greek death, I would ask sagacious author
to live a bit more. It is gallows humor, far from funny, and it is to
point out the hypocrisy in some corners. And as to a provincial attitude....it is us midwesterners and southerners who have allowed the growth and survival of the greeks, not the idiots from
the east who seem to be hell-bent on dismantling it. So, get back
in traction, Seymour.
Without some humor, though, we will become as stiff as the old
Union Triad folks (pass the trocar, please) and when many of us can hug one another, like Tom and me, et al., we can all work as
one, together, in fraternal closeness. But as to the critics and naysayers who are constantly passing judgment on us...well, they
are something upon which we shall put. EC
