Ladies and Gentlemen (I use those terms most guardedly...)
I submit another hapless Triumph racer whom I believe should be
inducted into our lofty ranks... We should not hold a mere matter
of geography against this fellow (he lives in Australia). This fact
would make it difficult for him to attend our regular meetings...
or for that matter the irregular meetings as well.
I understand the moon does shine "down under" so he can gather on
his own to howl at it (like we do from time to time). Furthermore
if we do induct him, we can make him the Grand Poobah, High
Muckety-Muck, Imperial Whatever of our Australian branch... Or does
this smack of too much "organization?"
