I keep hearing about "the old guard" not allowing things to progress, or
keeping new ideas out. These statements are as far as I'm aware, being made
by people who were not at these meetings, but heard somebody else's
opinions, etc.
I was an AHCA Delegate back in some of the meetings when unification was
discussed at length. I can most certainly state that it wasn't up to "the
old guard" and it wasn't a case of "egos" that was in control of these
discussions...it was a collection of Delegates, attending these meetings
and bringing forward their home chapters wishes on these subjects that made
the decisions.
Of course there were prominent people that voiced their opinions, perhaps
swaying some delegates one way or the other, but the final decisions were
made by the old democratic process called a vote.
Now, other than some pleasant reminiscences about Donald and his visits, can
we please get back to Healeys?
