Theos-Talk Archives (April 1998 Message tt00539)

Thanks for the msg. Thanks for your invitation to Los Angeles. BTW, I am
not a scholar and just a student and I rarely travel.

The issues we are dealing has nothing to do with John Algeo personally. We
are dealing with some fundamental problems facing TSA and in my humble
opinion are very serious for the future of TSA/TS. And they need to be
addressed quickly.

BTW, I am not on any of the steering committees of ACT and hold no offices
in TSA and its lodges. I am just an independent dues paying member attached
to the San Antonio, Texas lodge.

Let us hope that TSA takes a turn for the better and soon.
