Richard,

Yes they have. As a matter of fact, we have permission all the back to Colorado Springs. As a matter of fact, they are encouraging and/or requiring that we include any interested girls in the region, until such time that the numbers become so large that it would hamper the services we provide to Kansas girls. At the time that we inlcuded OK girls, they did not have a "state team" and there may be such a time when they will not be included but that will be decided when the time comes. This "good will" has opened many doors and will infact help us to provide additional help with items such as transportation in the future. We have been working closely with all the director's of all states that are active with girls and will continue to do so until it becomes necessary to "re-look" at things. I feel this is only "semantics" that is catching your toe. I can assure you that all the "powers that be" are aware of every move and choice we make for the girls.

They tell me it was like this for freestyle/greco back in "the day" when they were new too. Have you ever been "new" to something, Richard? It can be made easier or more difficult just by the responses we choose to make.

Hopefully, this will assist you with your agitation. I will probably not be able to respond any further this pm as I do work for a living.

Ms. Jenni
