Thanks for your time, efforts, and responses on the subject. I think that the facial hair has become a dead issue since originally brought up here at a ref meeting. Travel expenses are still hot on the stove. One member of the board is adament and won't back such a move. His reasoning is that if the driver has a blowout, is the passenger (ref partner) going to share in the expenses of the repair? That would be like me wanting my passenger to share the cost of repair to my pickup if my transmission went out on me enroute to Talkeetna, Ak. My interpretation of travel expenses, are gas, oil, and some food after the game, if necessary. To my friends up in Fairbanks, have a good run in the Top of the World tourney and everyone tune in to that tourney, as well as the Great Alaska Shootout over Thanksgiving. Take care and a good run to all. ML
