1. A thank you to the HMGS Board of Directors for their financial assistance. PW is now paid up to the end of the year for its monthly meeting rental fee. 2. On second thought, I do have a bone to pick with the Board of Directors. For reasons beyond my ken, they appointed me one of the members of La Legion, a group of 14 who, each year, will meet and decide which members of the wargaming world merit and will receive the HMGS Scruby Award. La Legion had its first meeting at HISTORICON. It was a dinner meeting, and business was conducted before, after, and during the meal. HMGS was nice enough to pick up the tab. Duke Siefried ran the meeting and did it well. But here's my gripe. The Lancaster Host Resort restaurant had an advertisement stating that one could order all the prime rib one desired at a price of 99 cents per ounce. And so I ordered 16 ounces, a full pound, of prime rib. When dinner was served, and the waiter delivered my "full pound" of prime rib, I noted that next to me, Dick Sossi, who had ordered a puny 9 ounce steak, had, on his platter, a serving larger than my own!! My lower jaw went slack. I was outraged. My breathing stopped... it took a minute for me to recover. Is this fair?? Is there no equity in the world? To whom can the righteous appeal to seek justice? Now is the time for all REVIEW readers to barrage the HMGS Board of Directors with letters demanding that justice be done. By George, if I'm good enough to be picked for La Legion, then surely I merit a full pound of prime rib! Be assured, I shall not let this issue rest. 3. A note to say that the September issue may be a wee bit delayed. A vacation in England is at hand. Tom Elsworth, British host-person, insists that we tour the northlands and visit Hadrian's-Wall. As we all know, Mr. Hadrian built his wall some years ago. Although it has remained erect ever sinr.4. I have no doubt that a huge section of the structure will crumble as soon as I set foot on it. Don't be surprised, therefore, if, sometime in September, the prime-time news will feature an article to the effect... Beloved Editor Found Starving, Trapped In Rubble Due To Cave-in At Hadrian's Wall, Incoherently Muttering "Where's My Prime Rib?"
