[GCARC] Hamfest

[oldradio at comcast.net]

I don't understand the long Wright Martindale quote, and how it is connected to our hamfest, and to Sunday vs Saturday?  It doesn't make sense.  It's probably just a political rant.

And I don't see Showater on our member list.

And QRZ search for "WB2LDJ" produced no results.

"Demographics, Demand, and the Feds: Why Colleges Will Stay Overpriced" by Wight Martindale, Jr. 
     "Many critics of the contemporary academy argue that the high and rising cost of a college education and the colossal debt students are assuming have produced a bubble - "to much money spent, too little achieved" - one that is starting to burst. Wight Martindale disagrees: "The critics will remain outsiders. The current system will roll along NICELY without them."  It's like extortion oil prices, don't buy the product! Please write to your state representatives to restore at least half of cuts to higher education since 1990.
