Subject: But let us know why you suggested 150# skipper

Hi Eric:

Okay, okay . . . but explain to us why you suggested 150#s as the skippers upper limit to me at the SKeel mixer. It makes sense to me. Others support similar strategy, So it must have made some kind of sense to you becuase you were the first to mention it. So what is that?

Please progress the dialogue along. This needs to be fully reviewed before the next National meeting.
