Walter,
 
More details if you please!  I thought Jerry's position was up the
assessment a penny a pound, remove foreign producers' assessment, get
more producers on the board and promote domestic honey.  Total abolition
of the NHB is something new as far as I know.  Did Jerry get voted out
of office?  What's the scoop?
 
You mention the power of the Internet.  Realize also the "immediacy" of
the medium.  Yours is the first new I have heard of the AHP convention.
What exactly went down?
 
Thanks,
Aaron Morris
