I was wondering what took so long for this post to appear!

Rec games can be good for young officials. My opinion concerning this has not changed. I have continued to work because I was needed and wanted to help the people who have helped me. I'd do it again if i had it to do over. But right now, it's simply time to move on.

But then again, I lived in an area where rec. games are basicially Men's leagues. Maybe some consider AAU to be the same thing (which I do on a rare occasion). But I would only do games that were related to schools, not some sponsor. But then again, the definition is different from on local to another.
This is true. There are different situations, depending on where one lives. In my area, if it weren't for people like myself, many kids would not have an opportunity to play basketball. That, in itself, is important enough for me to work these games.
