>>SHA today has a high membership, it runs an excellent annual meeting, it
>>produces an excellent quarterly journal and newsletter, all at reasonable
>>cost.  SHA has also become an important venue and advocate for historical
>>archaeology though increasing interaction with the federal government,
>>Unesco, etc.  The three individuals Bob Schuyler insults - myself included
>>- have contributed a great deal to SHA's success.  Ronn Michael has
>>developed a first class journal and Tef Rodeffer has kept SHA fiscally
>>responsible over many years.  I have tried to develop and maintain a
>>quality newsletter.
>>The allegations of hidden government are preposterous.  One has only to
>>remember that the editors and Tef are only 3 people on a board of 12!  SHA
>>ain't broke, so lets leave it the way it is.  One thing that can improve is
>>member interation with the board, expecially at the business meeting every
>>January.  SHA needs more input from members.
