I couldn't agree more with your assessment. That was always my goal from the start. Yes, John is being stubborn and it's a shame, for he is actually turning people away and that breaks my heart. It's a tough call right now, for I want to respect his feelings, but at the same time, the exclusion of people other than the "old gang", is only hurting our goals of keeping it going and expanding our horizons.
I wanted to add a few "kids" to the roster this year, who wanted to represent their fathers, but John told me flat out, no! The thing is, I shouldn't have said anything at all, and just let those few show up. Ya, I'm a bit miffed and torn at the same time.
