Well I hope I have the organization right and my details about Jerry's
exact stand I could be a little off about,. I got my info from a Hawaii
beekeeper who did attend and is just back. I do not know if he was voted
out or if this was a regularly scheduled election. I do Know that Richard
Adee was voted in and is the president. If I got some of Jerry's political
planks wrong I'm sorry. I do think Jerry was very pro bee keepers.
