berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-001|Put this over here.
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-003|Am I live yet? Yeah.
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-004|Morning
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-005|We were a little worried today because we weren’t sure
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-006|from the reservations whether we can handle everybody but it looks to me like
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-007|there
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-009|we're going to have to uh
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-010|find a different spot because it looks to me like we’re up about 600 this year from last year
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-011|be on the safe side we will seek out a larger spot. Now, there
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-012|certain implications to that because
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-013|some of the more experienced of you know, a few years ago we were
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-014|we were holding this meeting at the Joslyn
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-015|Museum which is a
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-016|culture
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-017|we've now, of course, moved to
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-019|an old vaudeville theater. And
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-020|the only place in town that can hold us
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-021|year, I think, is the Ak-Sar-Ben Coliseum where they have keno
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-022|we are sliding down the cultural
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-022a|chain just as
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-023|I have some rather distressing news to report
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-024|There are always a few people who vote against
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-025|everyone
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-026|on the slate for directors, and there are maybe a dozen or so people do that. Then there are others who single shot it, and they pick out people
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-027|to vote against
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-028|and
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-029|come as news to Charlie. I haven't told him yet but
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-030|he is the only one among our candidates for directors who received no
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-031a|negative votes
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-031b|this year
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-031c|when you lose out the title of Miss Congeniality to Charlie, you know you're in trouble
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-032|I'd like to uh
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-033.wav|I'd like to tell you a little bit how we'll run this. We will we will
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-034|We will have the business meeting
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-035|in a hurry with
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-36a|of all of you, and then we will uh
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-037|introduce our managers uh
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-038|who are here
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-039|and then we will have a uh
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-040|Q and A uh
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-041|period
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-042|we will run that until
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-043|twelve o' clock
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-044|break
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-045|and then at 12:15 if the hardcore want to stick around we will have another hour, so until about 1:15
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-046|you're free to leave at any time, of course. I've pointed out in the past that
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-047a|better form if you leave while Charlie is talking rather than when I'm talking but
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-047b|Feel free anytime
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-047c|If you're panicked and you're
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-047d|and you're worried about
berkshire-1994-00:00_10:00-049|by leaving
