I've had dealings with Sussan Ley and while she was initially on side she has since bowed to tow the party line. The Health portfolio is all she wants to look at right now and unless you are a constituent of hers with a pressing serious matter I doubt she will even take calls these days on aviation matters. A pity, because she is such a good and energetic Local member.

And when you walked into the BVGC Clubhouse I generally said in my best Sturmbannfuhrer Hochstetter accent;

`What is this man doing here?`:p:E:D

I`m really saddened (but not surprised) to hear that.:sad: I had held an admittedly faint hope that she just might have been someone who could really eventually be able to do something positive.

I refer everyone to my original comment with an addition; Where are the real Statesmen??:confused: (Or Stateswomen if you wish!!)

Pinky,


If I'm sufficiently fortunate to outlive you, I promise that I'll bring complimentary messages to your funeral! You sure are one of a kind!

:D:D:D:D

You probably will and if that is indeed the case I couldn`t give a rat`s what you say then.:p:D I won`t be able to hear it!:ooh::D:D

As long as most people attending believe that I gave it my best in life; well... that will be my epitaph!:ok:

A far far wiser man than I once said; (something like)

The evil that one man does lives on after him. The good is oft interred with his bones.:sad:
