- Well, fellers, what I'm now told is that FAA approval for the Lubbock site
- had been merely VERBAL, and that the problem came up when trying to get
- the formal written approval. Apparently that is not to say that the
- written approval won't actually be forthcoming, but might just be balled
- up in bureacratic red tape or something.
-
- At any rate, it seems that the site was changed back to Lawrenceville
- because the practical time frame to make the site decision had expired.
- And, it was suggested to me, that Lubbock may still well end up the site
- of the 94 Nats. Let's hope so.

-
- Nothing against Lawrenceville (I'm a native Illinoisian myself), but I'd
- like to see the Nats at a more geographically centered site, or better
- yet, rotated between a set of such sites. I know it will end up costing
- our AMA a few more bucks, but it would be more interesting and competitive I
- think. Just MHO.
-
- Happy holidays!
