The tender for 917

[NW Mailing List]

Hideous, the tender is, you say? If you think it ought to be "better",
then start the "fix the tender fund" and get their blessings to do so,
being a major financial contributor yourself. The other alternative,
not counting doing nothing might be "oblivion" and that, hopefully
isn't an option.

Many times people complain, they talk the talk but don't want to walk the walk.

It's better than nothing. Remember what has happened when people
didn't care over the years; Dick Jensen's 5629 somewhere in Illinois I
think and there are others. Courts ordered its scrapping. Is that what
we want? I don't think so.

Look what the Portsmouth folks did with 1134. A great cosmetic pieve
of work. Finished yet? probably not, but for over 50 years, the thing
sat languishing in a scrap yard and looked like scrap until they got
it. With proper leadership things can happen so let's not complain
about others without looking within ourselves.

'nuff said.
