SUBJ: AML SUMMER SESSION

I attended the AML Summer Session, both days of the Lobbying Session by Clive Thomas, a wonderful speaker. I have listened to him at other AML meetings and enjoy listening and have learned a lot.

I attended the boat trip. Thanks to Jack Montgomery, it was a great trip and too bad that the timing was not good so that more AML members could have attended.

Unfortunately with all of the fishing in the river and Fishing Hole, I was especially busy on those matters and spending time with family and could not attend all of the other AML meetings.

Last, but not least, I thought the Governor candidate debate went very well. Everyone did a fantastic job, it was a very good debate and down to earth. Thanks to all the hard work by everyone.

At the continental breakfast the last day, myself and a total of maybe six people were there out of everybody and this was really too bad.
