<DIV>Yes, Bill, you are correct. We're doing it like we always have.
In essence, we have the auction EVERY year, but every OTHER year it is a Team
auction. I do not know why confusion has been thrown in, but there is no
change to past practice. </DIV>

<DIV>It would be interesting to know who the "reliable source" is.... I am
closely working with Eric Henderson, who is in charge of setting up the
banquet, and haven't heard any of this. Most people know that Eric
and I are good friends, and it's a friendship built upon mutual trust. (One
of the perks of being in this hobby!) In actuality, we are
planning to run the two events more or less as one. We will announce
which items are for the FAI Team and which are NSRCA items, but it will all
happen together, couldn't be done with more cooperation if we tried!
So, now you've heard it directly from the source. </DIV>
