Which brings up the question of prep work for the interviews or with everything else going on that week should he use that time for other things and have someone else interview. Or at least talk to Corps members off the media... Edited August 14, 2019 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working help(less) desk duties dealing with the ships until I retire and also turning over what I know. Amazing how many ways there are to put it in writing and #### it up.... ”well I know what I meant when I typed it...”😫 Edited August 14, 2019 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I don't mean to beat a dead horse on this discussion, and I understand he's apologized and apology has been accepted, etc But, that question didn't come out of nowhere. It was in his mind. Either he personally felt that this was a topic worth asking about, or he heard there was a buzz about this, or maybe he himself thought that they should have an asterisk. I don't follow Open Class discussions, but was this even mentioned anywhere? Or did he invent this 'controversy'? Not trying to overanalyze, just curious if there was truly a buzz about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all a surprise to everyone when the two previous top corps didn't show up last Tuesday at the retreat, wasn't time to think or talk about the ramifications. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok here's the best example I can think of, and sorry if my years are wrong... In 1994 did anyone question Devil's championship because Star folded and wasn't there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cixelsyd Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Good thing it was pouring rain at 1972 retreat, preventing the Kingsmen DM from being asked if the absence of Blue Rock, Sac and BAC was asterisk-worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how does it feel not winning a real championship like VFW or AL 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
