I was not too sure myself, but as I sat and watched things unfold at the association meeting the other night, I realized I was going to be the one to do it, because either people did not want to do it because it was not their cup of tea, did not have enough experience to do it, or have already done it in the past and did want to do it again.

It is just going to be hard for me because of the schedule I work at my job, plus my full officiating schedule in all the sports I do. But, I realize all of the people that have helped me along over the years in officiating, that it is time to give back to the game that has given me so much already.

BTW, how is your associaiton going up there since the last time I talked with you in Lansing? At the time you and I talked, I was a part of association that you really approved of, if you remember the meeting that we were in.

Well, I am no longer a part of that association. I left that association about 1 1/2 years ago due to the increase of politics going on within the association. I do not agree with politics within a local officials association. I understand and to a point agree with it when being registered with the MHSAA, but politics needs to be left out of the mix within the local officials associations.
