WE CAN GO AHEAD AND START THE MEETING, SO AND I DO SUGGEST THAT YOU ALL SAY YOU DID EXCEPT
[00:00:05]
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF WELL, ECHOING.OK, SUSAN, DID YOU WANT TO SHARE A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THE SORT OF THE SCOPE OF WORK IN
[5. Draft AHOF Scope of Work for 2020-2021 (Part 1 of 2)]
[6. DRAFT 2019-2020 End of Year Report (Part 2 of 2)]
THE REPORT AND THEN WE CAN JUST SORT OF THE BUSINESS PARTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT? HOW TO MOVE FOR SURE.SO I SENT EVERYONE A COPY OF THE SCOPE OF WORK AND THE END OF YOUR REPORT, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT, BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T, IT IS UPLOADED INTO E.S.P.
NOT THAT YOU CAN READ. I ACTUALLY EMAILED IT TO YOU.
SO IT'S IN YOUR EMAIL. BUT THE.
THE SCOPE OF WORK, BASICALLY WHAT THE END OF YOUR REPORT BASICALLY SAYS THAT WE MADE IT THROUGH TO MARCH PARTWAY THROUGH OUR SELECTION PROCESS AND THEN HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE IT AND THAT.
AND SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT OUR END OF YOUR REPORT SAYS, EXCEPT THAT WE WOULD WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING MORE NOMINATIONS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS, ALTHOUGH WE NEED TO.
THIS IS NOT IN THE SCOPE OF WORK, BUT I THINK IT IS.
WE ADDED HOW WE NEED TO FIND SOME OF THOSE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS FRANCIS HAMMOND AND WOMEN ADDED TO THE SCOPE OF WORK, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCHOOL SCHOOL SYSTEM ITSELF WORKING SO MUCH ON EQUITY THAT WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THAT.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO DO.
DO YOU ALL WANT ME TO SHARE THE SCOPE OF WORK OR.
WELL, EVEN THE SCOPE OF WORK WHEN WE SHOULD SHARE THE SCOPE OF WORK? SORRY I OPENED IT EARLIER, BUT.
AND THEN THE SCOPE OF WORK IS BASICALLY OUR NORMAL SCOPE OF WORK, EXCEPT FOR THE SHEER.
WE HAD SOME THINGS THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO.
DO IT OR TO CONTINUE LAST YEAR'S ELECTION, PULLING UP THE RIGHT DOCUMENT.
SO SO HERE'S THE START OF THE SCOPE OF WORK, AND I WROTE ALL THIS BASED ON LAST YEAR'S SCOPE OF WORK, AND THEN MARK AND I HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THINGS THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.
AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE NUMBER TO SORT OF DETERMINING HOW WE WOULD DO A RECOGNITION, WE WOULD DO A RECOGNITION FOR PEOPLE IN THIS KIND OF COVID BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ILLNESS AND SERIOUS ILLNESS.
SO BUT IF WE MAKE IT THROUGH SELECTING PEOPLE, THEN LIKE HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE THEM? AND IF WE HAVE AND MARK MADE A SUGGESTION THAT IF WE HAD A NEW STADIUM, THAT MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THE SEVENTY ONE TITANS, WHICH IS A MUCH BIGGER GROUP, IT'S HARD TO PUT THEM IN WITH EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE ONE, THEY WOULD OVERSHADOW THE OTHER INDUCTEES, BUT ALSO. THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO COME TO THAT, AND THAT MIGHT BE A BETTER WAY TO HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THERE'S JUST SOME THOUGHT AND THEN THE REST OF THE STUFF IS.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, BUT I THINK THAT IS HOW YOU ALL WANT TO END THE YEAR.
AND LAST YEAR'S NOMINATIONS IS THE QUESTION.
SO ARE WE ARE WE PRETTY IT'S STILL UP IN THE AIR HOW WE TREAT THE TOILET.
COULD IT BE THAT WE JUST COMBINE THE TWO AND EXPECT THERE'S A TWENTY, TWENTY, TWENTY, TWENTY ONE CLASS? OR DO WE WANT TO KEEP THE CLASSES NECESSARILY DISTINCT, PUTTING ASIDE THE SEVENTY ONE FOOTBALL TEAM QUESTION? I THINK THAT IT DEPENDS WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO HAVE AN EMPTY YEAR OR ARE YOU SAYING WE HAVE THESE WERE OUR TWENTY 20 SELECTIONS.
AND WE JUST RECOGNIZE THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME, MAYBE.
WELL, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IS THIS QUESTION UP FOR UP FOR DISCUSSION OR IS IT ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.
OH, NO, IT'S ALL UP FOR DISCUSSION.
YOU KNOW, I'LL PUT MY TWO CENTS IN WHAT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WOULD BE, THERE'S REALLY NO REALLY NO WAY IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE TO HAVE A FESTIVE INDUCTION FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO GET IN THIS YEAR. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK SORT OF TO MARK'S POINT, YOU KNOW,
[00:05:03]
ASSUMING THAT THE LIGHTS ARE UP AND IT'S SAFE TO CONGREGATE IN THE FALL OF TWENTY, TWENTY ONE, WE COULD GO THROUGH WITH THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR THIS GROUP THAT WE HAVE NARROWED DOWN TO 15, GET OUR FIVE AND THEN REPEAT, GET THE GROUP FOR 20, 21 AND INDUCT 10 PEOPLE AT THE NEXT 10 GROUPS OR TEN PEOPLE AT THE NEW STADIUM.I MEAN, IT WOULD BE A CELEBRATORY THING.
THEY'D HAVE PLENTY OF RECOGNITION.
THERE'D BE TONS OF PEOPLE THERE.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT MAKES GREAT SENSE TO ME.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE CERTAINLY REASONABLE MINDS CAN DIFFER AND OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE OTHER IDEAS, BUT THAT'D BE MY VOTE.
AT FIRST BLUSH, THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE PRETTY COOL AND EXCITING THING, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO SOMETHING TO TO GET EXCITED ABOUT IN THE FALL. IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING FAR ENOUGH OUT THAT WE CAN REASONABLY THINK MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAPPEN, AT LEAST OUTSIDE.
DANIELLE HAS HER HAND RAISED ALL THE TIME.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT? OH, IT'S YOU COULD PARTICIPANTS' AND THEN IT MIGHT HAVE IT POPS UP THERE. BUT YEAH, I THINK I HOPE IT I HOPE WHATEVER WE DO IS FOR THE CLASS THAT LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO END UP. THEN I WOULD ALSO VOTE TO WAIT TILL WE COULD DO IT IN PERSON IN SOME DEGREE, JUST BECAUSE I THINK FOR THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE OF IT ALL, I KNOW THERE ARE SOME STUFF THAT WE LIKE GRADUATION LAST YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE.
RIGHT. LIKE I HAD TO MAKE THAT BE ONLINE.
BUT I THINK THAT I IF IT WAS ME BEING INDUCTED, I WOULD RATHER WAIT LONGER SO THAT IT COULD BE LIKE THE REAL THING THEN DOING SOMETHING ONLINE.
I THINK BECAUSE I THINK EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WE WOULD TRY OUR BEST TO MAKE IT BE GREAT, BUT ONLINE IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING A PERSON.
SO I LIKE THE IDEA OF KIND OF WHATEVER, FIGURING OUT THAT INITIAL CLASS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, FIGURING OUT THE NEW CLASS AND KIND OF HAVING THAT COMBINE, BECAUSE I THINK IN PERSON IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF IT, ESPECIALLY COMING OFF OUR LAST ONE, WHICH I FELT WAS JUST LIKE SO AMAZING IN THE GYM.
LIKE I FEEL LIKE THAT WAS OUR BEST ONE.
YET I WOULD HATE TO KIND OF SHORTCHANGE SOME FOLKS JUST BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS.
I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T I COULDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND YOU.
DID YOU SAY YOU WANT TO HAVE IT COMBINED? YES, I THINK I THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THEM COMBINED IN AN EFFORT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE EVERYBODY HAVE AN IN-PERSON INDUCTION BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT LIKE THE CLASS THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO INDUCT FOR THIS FALL, I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR FOR THEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT IN-PERSON ASPECT BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS.
I THINK THAT IT'S ALREADY BEHIND ANY WHO WE MIGHT AS WELL WAIT.
AND LIKE AGAIN, WITH BEING OUTSIDE OF THE LINES, I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT OUTSIDE.
AND SO MY VOTE WOULD BE TO WAIT TO DO KIND OF THOSE TWO CLASSES AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT HOW ABOUT PICKING THEM? I THINK I AGREE WITH WHAT JIM SAID EARLIER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE WAY I REMEMBER THIS THING IS WE HAD AGREED WE HAD PICKED FIFTEEN.
THEN WE WERE GOING TO MEET TOGETHER WHEN WE CLOSED AND WE WERE GOING TO COME BACK WITH TEN OF OUR TOP TEN.
AND THEN THE NEXT WEEK AFTER THAT, WE WERE GOING TO PICK THAT NEXT CLASS.
AND I DON'T KNOW. MY OWN FEELING IS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US CONTINUE ON WITH THAT, PICK THAT CLASS AND THEN START ANEW WITH THE NEXT CLASS GOING FORWARD.
AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO HONOR THEM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY OPEN THE STADIUM, I THINK IT MAKES GOOD SENSE. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TWO CLASSES.
AND WE'RE ALMOST I MEAN, WE'RE BASICALLY I THINK WE WERE LIKE MORE THAN ALMOST THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY DONE WITH PAYING BACK CLASS.
I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE FINISHING THAT.
I THINK HE HAD SENT AN EMAIL THERE OR MAYBE HE SENT IT TO MARK AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO FINISH OUT THAT THIS CLASS AND THEN HE WASN'T GOING TO COME BACK AFTER THAT.
YEAH, NO, I AGREE WITH WHAT JIM SAID AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO JOHN, I THINK THAT IT'S YOU SHOULD FINISH OUT WHAT WE DID AND THEN PICK UP THIS NEW CLASS.
BUT I JUST MEAN, LIKE THE ACTUAL CELEBRATION OF THANKSGIVING SOUNDS GOOD IN THE FALL OR WHATEVER. SORRY.
YET THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE NOT RETURNING WHO MAY ALSO FALL INTO THAT SAME KIND OF CATEGORY. SO JIMMY WARDEN IS ONE THAT HE WANTED TO STEP BACK FOR A LITTLE BIT AND BOBBY TROUT AND KATIE FRAWLEY.
SO I WAS THINKING MAYBE THEY WOULD WANT TO JUST FINISH UP THIS LAST NOMINATION PROCESS.
THEY CAN COME BACK OR NOT COME BACK.
BOBBY WANTS TO COME BACK, BUT HE'S GOT A LOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW, SO HE'S GOING TO STEP BACK FROM THE COMMITTEE IN GENERAL.
BUT I DON'T KNOW. I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM ABOUT JUST FINISHING UP THE NOMINATION.
BUT SO FROM A TIMELINE PERSPECTIVE, THEN, IT WOULD BE DECEMBER.
WE WOULD HAVE OUR OUR BASICALLY OUR EACH OF US HAS OUR TOP 10.
[00:10:04]
AND THEN JANUARY WOULD BE THE FINAL VOTE OR WE WOULD COME TO JANUARY WITH OUR 10, THEN WE VOTE TO BECOME TO BECOME THE NEXT MONTH WITH OUR WHY DON'T WE HAVE A 72 HOUR, 15 SO 15 IN JANUARY AND WE GO THROUGH ALL THIS, EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH THEIR 15, THEN WE GO THROUGH OUR TEN. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, 15 IN DECEMBER AND THEN EVERYBODY AND THEN WE USE THAT TIME TO GET DOWN TO 10 AND THEY'RE VERY BRINGS THEIR TEN.REVIEWS THEIR PLAN FOR THE JANUARY MEETING.
WE MAKE A FINAL DECISION AND THEN WE GET PUSHED TO THE BOARD FOR SOMETHING THAT LATE JANUARY OR FEBRUARY TO MAKE A.
ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT THE CLASS AND TENTATIVE PLANS FOR A BIG CELEBRATION IN THE FALL WITH THE NEXT CLASS, SO WE'RE THINKING IT SOUNDS GOOD.
YEAH, ACTUALLY, THAT TIMELINE MIGHT BE VERY ADVANTAGEOUS FOR TRYING TO GET THE REST OF, LIKE, GETTING MORE NOMINATIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR'S CLASS, BUT ONE WE SHOULD BE WORKING ON FOR THIS YEAR. SO.
BECAUSE IF WE PUT THAT ANNOUNCEMENT UP IN FEBRUARY, I THINK THAT WE DO IS CLOSE TO THE END OF MARCH, THE END OF APRIL.
OK, BUT THAT WOULD HELP US DO A LITTLE BIT OF A PUSH OUT TO GET THAT RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT IT? WE COULD USE THE ANNOUNCEMENT AS A WAY TO GET A FINAL CALL.
AND THEN THROUGHOUT FEBRUARY, MARCH, FEBRUARY AND MARCH, WE CAN GET TO A FEW MORE NOMINATIONS. WE STILL HAVE PLENTY TO GO THROUGH.
YEAH, YEAH, AND WE'VE BEEN GETTING MORE AND GERRI'S BEEN SENDING MORE, AND I WISH WE HAD A GERRY FROM FRANCE IS HAMMOND BECAUSE WE HAVE LIKE NO ONE FROM FRANCE IS HANNEMANN AT ALL.
I THINK O'CONNOR WANTS TO KEEP O'CONNOR WANTS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
SO THEN THE SCOPE OF WORK DOES GO ON A LITTLE BIT MORE JUST TO KIND OF.
YOU KNOW, RESTATE OUR PURPOSE AND.
AND I THINK THAT IN THE FIRST ONE, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHERE WE REFINE THE CRITERIA, BUT I DO BELIEVE SOMEWHERE IN HERE WE CAN MAKE IT A SEPARATE PART ABOUT HOW WE NEED TO WORK ON.
YOU KNOW, FINDING STUFF FOR MORE SCHOOLS, BECAUSE WE REALLY ARE VERY PC CENTRIC AND WE HAVE A LOT OF GW NOW, WE HAVE OUR PARKER GREAT CONNECTION.
AND THEN BUT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE MANY PEOPLE FROM HAMADE AT ALL.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW WOMEN BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL WILL MENTION. SO WE MIGHT AS WELL GET IT IN THERE.
SO MARK HAS HIS HAND UP, MARK.
I DO. I JUST I JUST WANTED TO I KNOW WHEN I READ TO YOU EARLIER, I JUST I THINK THERE'S A IN THE BACKGROUND SECTION, A SMALL TYPO THAT APRIL TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR I THINK IS TWENTY FOURTEEN. VERY QUICKLY, WHERE ARE WE? FIRST PAGE AND THE SECOND PAGE IN THE BACKGROUND SECTION.
SECOND PAGE? YES, IT'S A SMALL POINT.
OH, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S A SMALL PART OF AMERICA.
AND I THOUGHT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE GO OUT WITH WITH THAT, IF IT GETS APPROVED, THEN THERE'S PROBABLY NO REASON FOR US TO NOTICE SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, LOOKING FOR FOLKS TO NOMINATE FROM FROM FROM HAMMOND AND ALL THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS WORLD, BECAUSE WE CAN'T WE CAN'T ELECT PEOPLE TO HELP THEM UNLESS THE NOMINATIONS COME IN FROM THEM.
RIGHT. AND SO WE'RE KIND OF RELYING UPON PEOPLE WHO WENT THERE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THOSE PROGRAMS TO TO STEP FORWARD AND THEY MIGHT JUST NOT KNOW ABOUT IT.
IT COULD BE AN AWARENESS ISSUE.
I DON'T YEAH. I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AND EVEN WHEN WE STARTED THE COMMITTEE, WE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO APPLIED TO BE ON THE COMMITTEE WHO WERE FROM THAT AREA.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE IF THERE WERE A LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND NOW THAT WERE WE WENT FROM BEING AN AD HOC TO AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
SO I HAD SOME OF THOSE APPLICATIONS, NAMES AND EVERYTHING I COULD GO BACK AND SEE.
WHO'S ON THERE AND MARK, I COULD SEND IT TO YOU.
YOU CAN LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW ANY OF THEM OR WE COULD SEND TO THE WHOLE COMMITTEE.
[00:15:01]
I WOULDN'T SHARE PAST THE COMMITTEE, THOUGH, BECAUSE.JUST IN CASE IT'S APPLIED BACK IN TWENTY FOURTEEN, I HAVE A LIFELONG FRIEND THAT I'D FEEL COMFORTABLE IF HE FELT INCLINED TO WANT TO JOIN THE COMMITTEE. HE'S A 65 FORMER BASKETBALL PLAYER AT HAMMAN AND HE'S WORKING FOR RONNIE.
TRUSTEE. I GREW UP IN SIMILAR EXCUSE ME.
AND HE'S HE'S LIVED IN ALEXANDRIA.
HIS I WORKED FOR THE HOPKINS HOUSING.
SO GOOD GUY THINKING HE COULD BE A VALUABLE ASSET.
YOU KNOW, LIKE I WAS GOING TO SAY THIS ABOUT HIM AND I AND I HAVE HEARD OF RONNIE ROSS.
BUT, YOU KNOW, HAMMOND WASN'T THERE THAT LONG.
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WITH IT, HE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
RONNIE RUST WOULD MAYBE TELL THERE WERE SOME GOOD BASKETBALL TEAMS BACK IN THOSE SIX, THE EARLY 60S BACK AT HAMMOND.
SO RONNIE MIGHT KNOW SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE HE COULD NOMINATE.
TO THAT MIGHT GET HAMMOND QUESTION ANSWERED.
YEAH, AND I THINK THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT WE HAD THAT JOINING OF ALL THE SCHOOLS, SO EVERYONE HAD A SORT OF A FINITE LIFE OF BEING A HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THEN IT WAS JUST TASB, SO.
YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE THERE MIGHT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO THAT, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TRIED TO FLESH OUT FEMALE NOMINEES, YOU KNOW, DANIELLE AND I WENT BACK TO THE ARCHIVES OF THE WASHINGTON POST THAT GO BACK TO I FORGET HOW LONG DANIELLE, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER, BUT AND FOUND A LOT OF WOMEN ATHLETES WHILE WE WERE DOING THAT.
I DIDN'T I DIDN'T TAKE NOTE OF THEM, BUT THERE WERE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HAMMAN, PARTICULARLY FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
MAYBE, YOU KNOW, FIVE TO 10 HAMMAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS WHO WERE FIRST TEAM ALL MET.
WHO WOULD BE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IF THEY WOULD BE ELECTED, BUT CERTAINLY TO ME, IT'S MY FIRST TIME ALL MET. YOU GET THEM IN THE HOPPER AND JIMMYS POINTS WELL TAKEN.
I REMEMBER IT WAS RONNIE RUST, RON CLEVENGER AND BILLY HAWKINS WERE THE GUYS ON THE HAMIN BASKETBALL TEAM THAT WERE TERRIFIC.
AND GETTING SOMEBODY FROM THAT ERA WOULD BE, I THINK, JIMMY OUTSTANDING IF HE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO IT SHORT.
SO DO WE ALSO WANT TO DO A PUSH FOR NOMINEES NOW AND MAYBE A SENSE MAYBE WORK WITH COMMUNICATIONS TO SEND SOMETHING OUT THAT THE COMMITTEE IS? SORT OF BACK TOGETHER AND MEETING REGULARLY AGAIN, LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
WE COULD PROBABLY DO SOMETHING SMALL NOW, KIND OF GET THE BALL ROLLING AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOK, WE LOOK, WE LOOK TO ANNOUNCE A NEW CLASS AND IN, YOU KNOW, JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF THE COMING YEAR AND EVEN BIGGER THINGS TO COME, YOU KNOW, IN THE SPRING AND FALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I WONDER IF COMMUNICATION AECO WE CAN DO THAT.
YEAH, I CAN CHECK WITH JULIA OR HELEN.
A GYM, I WAS JUST THINKING THAT I'M PRETTY SURE MIKE TYSON HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR INDUCTION OR IS HE ALREADY IN THE FORM OF T.C.
BOYS COACH BECAUSE HE WENT TO HAMMAN? HE MAY BE IN NO DOUBT HE'S NOT IN OK, HE'S NOT ON MY LIST.
OK, WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? I THINK MICHAEL JACKSON.
ONE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 76 WITH T.C.
OK, MIKE HANSON, AND YES, I KNOW MIKE.
SUSAN, PLAYTECH, CATAWBA COLLEGE IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND I'M PRETTY SURE YOU WENT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF ME, BUT WE GREW UP TOGETHER.
YEAH, I THINK YOU DID JUST THE SCREEN.
SORRY I'M LATE. I WAS ON ANOTHER SCHOOL BOARD CALL.
IMAGINE THAT. BUT HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT.
GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE, EVEN IF IT IS ON SCHEDULE.
BUT, SUSAN, I WANTED TO SEE YOU TALKED ABOUT COMMUNICATION.
IS THE PROCESS DIFFERENT NOW THAT JULIA'S IN PLACE TO GET THINGS TO GET COMMUNICATION OUT FOR THE COMMITTEE'S? WELL, HELEN IS STILL THE POINT PERSON FOR COMMUNICATIONS, BUT HAVING JULIA OVER HER, I JUST TYPICALLY SEND THINGS TO BOTH OF THEM AT ONCE AND THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
BUT WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TO COMMUNICATE OUT PERSONALLY, SO I CAN'T SAY HOW DIFFERENT IT IS.
I KNOW WITH THE RENAMING AND STUFF, THEY'VE HAD A BIG FOCUS ON THAT AND NOT AS MUCH OTHER
[00:20:05]
STUFF. SO, I MEAN, WE HAD A LITTLE KERFUFFLE OVER THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT WE WERE DOING AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.IF YOU COULD KEEP ME IN THE LOOP TO SEE IF IT PROCESSES MORE STREAMLINED, I'D APPRECIATE IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE WANTS TO SUGGEST ANY LANGUAGE FOR IF WE COULD JUST GET BACK TO THE SCOPE OF WORK, WE COULD DECIDE YOU LIKE IT OR DON'T LIKE IT, BUT OR IF YOU HAVE THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO CHANGE, IF YOU WANT TO EMAIL THEM TO ME.
THAT NO ONE MAYBE REFINE IT SOMEWHAT JUST TO.
HAVING MANY OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND TYING IT TO THAT, YEAH, YEAH.
I CAN COME UP WITH SOME STUFF, I THINK.
OK? AND YOU CAN JUST E-MAIL IT TO ME, MARK, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IF ANYONE HAD ANY THING THEY DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT, THAT IT CAN GO FORWARD.
WELL, TO PUT THAT OTHER LANGUAGE IN.
I MEAN, DOES ANYONE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE SENDING IT FORWARD? NO, NO, I JUST DON'T, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY AND I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT ASPIRATIONAL THAT WE DO WANT TO EVENTUALLY WORK ON TALKING ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS LIKE REMEMBER THREE SERVICES I KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN IMPACT ON.
BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE THAT OFFERED, YOU KNOW, IN MY COMMUNICATIONS, THERE WERE A COUPLE WHO, LIKE J.C.
THURMAN, HAD MENTIONED SOMETHING.
AND I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED WHO HAVE BUSINESSES OR SOMETHING THAT MAY BE WHERE THEY COULD BENEFIT FROM HELPING US IN SOME WAY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, SO AND MAYBE EVEN REACHING OUT TO FORMER INDUCTEES, I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE.
WELL, I'M SORRY, SUSAN, JUST THAT BECAUSE I KNOW MORE THAN ONE HALL OF FAME DOES THAT IN TERMS OF CONTINUING WITH COSTS FOR THE SUBSEQUENT CEREMONY.
ONE IS ONLY 50 DOLLARS A YEAR, YOU KNOW, SO I THAT'S SOMETHING AS WE GROW.
THE NUMBERS, WELL, AND ALSO IF OUR NUMBERS CONTINUE TO GET LARGE, LIKE I KNOW LAST YEAR WHEN WE DID THE 1957 BASKETBALL TEAM, WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTEND.
AND IT MAY BE THAT IF WE END UP DOING A SIMILAR STYLE THING, THAT MAYBE IT'S TIME TO. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE INDUCTEES, YOU KNOW.
LIKE IN DEATHY PLUS ONE, AND THEN IF YOU'RE INVITING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY THAT THERE'S A TICKETING PROCESS FOR THAT AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A LOT OF MONEY, BUT I THINK IT SORT OF SETS THE TONE, TOO, THAT WE KIND OF KNOW WHO'S COMING.
WE KNOW HOW MANY ARE COMING, AND IT HELPS SUBSIDIZE THAT.
SOMEONE IS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT BY ANY MEANS, BUT WHICH WOULD HELP SUBSIDIZE.
SO WHAT'S THE NUMBER CURRENTLY OF OUR INDUCTEES? WE'RE AROUND SIXTY ONE, I THINK.
TELL ME IT'S ON THE END OF YEAR REPORT.
AND. SO I THINK HE'S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB SO FAR.
I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE DYING TO GET IN, THAT WE'RE WE JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO IT BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY NOMINATIONS, SO.
SO UNLESS YOU WANT TO JUST LET THEM ALL IN AND WHEN YOU ARE SO.
SO IF ANYONE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS, THEN I JUST WANT TO BRING UP THE AGENDA.
RESCREENED WHILE WE'RE WAITING.
DID YOU CATCH MY BACKGROUND? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? NO, WAIT, NO, WAIT, LET ME LOOK.
I HAD A GREAT TALK WITH THE GUY, THERE'S A GUY FROM OHIO WHO'S THE DRIVER, AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE FOUND OUT THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL, HE SAID HE HAD TO MAKE THIS CAR DRIVE AND HE WAS SO EXCITED AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE SCHOOL.
AND, MARK, YOU DON'T YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY I AM.
I THINK I WAS ON LIKE A TWENTY FOUR HOUR ZONE CALL TO GET EVERYTHING, BUT IT LITERALLY
[00:25:04]
WAS ABOUT TWENTY FOUR HOURS.MR. PARKER FELT LIKE IT WAS LIKE IT WAS LIKE 14 HOURS BEFORE WE GOT IT DONE. NOW AT NIGHT.
HERE WE. I TOLD THEM I TOLD THEM WE NEEDED TO PUT AN ORDINANCE IN FOR THE FIREWORKS, WE'RE GOING TO DO IT THE FIRST FOOTBALL GAME OF LIKE EVERY FOOTBALL GAME. YEAH.
OH, I CAN SEE WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN A REQUEST FOR SOMEONE TO USE THE FOOTBALL FIELD IN JUNE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THE GUY WAS EXPLAINING HIS EVENT AND IT WAS GOING TO GO TO LIKE TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, I'M LIKE, IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN? RIGHT.
SO IF I CAN BE ABLE TO USE IT, IT'S HARD.
AND WE PUT UP A LOT OF TEAMS. SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING.
AND ANYWAY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY OFFICERS FOR NEXT YEAR,
[2. Committee Officers for 2020-2021]
BUT WE NEED A PRESIDENT, A CHAIRMAN, WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED.WE ALWAYS HAVE EVERYBODY VOLUNTEERING FOR THAT ONE.
SO IT'S ALWAYS A REALLY TOUGH QUESTION.
WELL, I THINK NO OFFENSE TO JIM, WHO'S REALLY BEEN GREAT STEERING THIS COMMITTEE, BUT I FEEL LIKE, JIM, I CAN ONLY GET YOUR THINGS, LIKE, WAIVED SO MANY TIMES.
SO I WONDER IF THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO STEP UP TO THE HELM.
LET US KNOW. WE CAN PUT THIS OFF TO THE NEXT MEETING AND JUST.
YOU KNOW, SUZANNE, WE CAN GET IT WAIVED AGAIN.
YEAH, SO IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST WHATEVER YOU WANT YOU GUYS WANT TO DO.
YOU EITHER HAVE TO NOMINATE SOMEONE OR NOT.
HE AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE BEGINNING.
AND HE'S BEEN RIDING MY COATTAILS FOR SIX YEARS.
SO I THINK IT'S TIME TO STEP UP.
WAYNE. JIM, I DON'T WANT TO GROW GM.
OH, YOU'RE ON ME WHEN YOU'RE ON IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT OTHER POSITION I ALREADY HOLD, YOU KNOW, PSYCHOLOGICALLY.
SO ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO.
DO YOU WANT TO PUT THIS OFF OR TALK ABOUT IT TONIGHT OR THINK ABOUT IT? COME BACK NEXT MEETING.
THINK THINK ABOUT IT. COME BACK.
OK, OK, OK, WE'LL PUT THAT UP.
[3. Discussion of AHOF Events during COVID-19]
AND THEN WE KIND OF DID THAT DISCUSSION ALREADY ABOUT THE EVENTS DURING COVID-19 ABOUT NOT WANTING TO DO IT.VIDEO. YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO DO IT IN PERSON AND POSSIBLY PUTTING IT OFF TILL THE FOLLOWING YEAR, SO SO RIGHT.
[4. Next Steps in 2019-2020 Selection Process]
GREEN, THE I THINK WHAT WE WERE KIND OF WE KIND OF SADLY WERE SETTLING ON IS IT'LL TAKE PROBABLY DECEMBER AND JANUARY TO FINISH THE PROCESS FOR THE CURRENT CLASS.AND THEN IT WOULD GO TO THE BOARD AFTER THE JANUARY MEETING TO PICK A CLASS.
AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO MAKE A FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO DO THAT.
AND THEN WE'LL GO RIGHT INTO THE PROCESS FOR THE THE NEXT CLASS AND THEN LOOK TO DO A BIG EVENT OF HOPEFULLY THIS FALL WITH THE STADIUM AND EVERYTHING.
BUT WE'RE AGAIN, FOR THAT FOR NUMBER FOUR, IT'S REALLY DECEMBER TO GET IT DOWN TO 15.
JANUARY BECOMES YOUR FINAL 10 AND VOTE IN JANUARY FOR THE TWENTY FOR THE TWENTY TWENTY CLASS, ESSENTIALLY.
IS IS THIS THE FIRST YEAR THE LYALL'S BROTHERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE OR IS THAT NEXT YEAR.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE QUITE LEVEL RIGHT.
CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY WHEN YOU SAY NEXT YEAR, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
TWENTY ONE. THEY WERE TWENTY SIXTEEN.
SO THEY'LL BE FIVE YEARS WILL BE 20 YEARS.
SO WHAT WE CALL THE CLASS OF TWENTY ONE, WHICH WOULD BE THE TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY, TWENTY ONE SELECTION.
YES. THE. THAT'S MAGIC, WE DO THE BROTHERS AND THE 71 ONE TEAM AND THE NEW STADIUM BE AMAZING.
IT WOULD BE INTERESTING, AS SHERWOOD WAS, THE CAPACITY HAD TO SAY TO YOU, YEAH, WE WOULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TICKETS TO SELL AND WE'LL HAVE LIKE A BRAND NEW TURF FIELD AND STUFF.
[00:30:02]
WELL, IT'S NOT WE DON'T WANT TO RUIN IT ON OUR FIRST EVENT FOR THOSE PEOPLE.SO BUT, YOU KNOW, VEGAS IS THE WAY TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE INFORMAL. SO THAT'S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT WHEN WE GET THERE.
SO. SO THE SCOPE OF WORK AND THE END OF YOUR REPORT, IF YOU COULD JUST READ THOSE AND
[5. Draft AHOF Scope of Work for 2020-2021 (Part 2 of 2)]
[6. DRAFT 2019-2020 End of Year Report (Part 2 of 2)]
MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE.YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT.
THERE'S NO ONE THING WE'LL HAVE TO DO AND WE CAN DO IT IN TIME FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT I
[7. Review of Bylaws for School Board Approval]
THINK. WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR BYLAWS VOTED ON ONCE BY EVERY SCHOOL BOARD THAT WE HAVE AND WE TYPICALLY. REVIEW THEM, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REVIEW THE MANUAL ANNUALLY, AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE, WE WANT CHANGE.WE HAVE TO SEND IT TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL, BUT WE NEED TO KIND OF LOOK AT BEFORE DECEMBER. TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
TWENTY TWO. TWENTY ONE, TWENTY ONE.
I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T REMEMBER 19 TO 20.
NINETEEN TWENTY TWENTY, NINETEEN, TWENTY ONE AND TWENTY TWENTY ONE, SORRY, I'M FALLING OVER MY WORDS HERE BEFORE DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY ONE, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE BOARD, WE APPROVE OUR BOARD, OUR BYLAWS.
SO EVEN IF WE DON'T MAKE CHANGES, WE CAN JUST AFFIRM THEM.
BUT IF WE'RE AS WELL WORKING, I KNOW EVERY YEAR WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THERE'S SORT OF THIS AREA WHERE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, WHERE PROCESS COULD BE CHANGED TO MAYBE MAYBE EVEN MORE EFFICIENT OR MORE FAIR OR WHATEVER, SO IF WE GO THROUGH THIS YEAR, MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF KNOW THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM LAST YEAR.
IT WAS A IT'S A IT'S SO FAR AWAY, SO I DON'T KNOW.
AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL WANT TO DISCUSS THE SINGLE.
YEAH, WELL, I JUST THINK IN THOSE BYLAWS, WE CAN CLARIFY SOME OF THE STUFF WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH THE EQUITY AND THE FEMALE ATHLETES AND THE OTHER, MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE SCHOOLS, THAT KIND OF THING, SO WE CAN WORK AROUND THOSE FORMALLY IN THE BYLAWS.
YEAH, BUT WE DO HAVE SPACE ON A COMMITTEE.
SO I THINK THAT IF THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHO WOULD BE ASSETS TO THE COMMITTEE, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE THEM.
SO WHO ARE WE GOING TO REACH OUT? SO WE'RE GOING TO JERRY IS GOING TO STICK WITH US THROUGH JANUARY.
AND THEN, JIM, DOES JIM THINK WE MIGHT HE MIGHT STAY WITH US FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SEE IF HE COULD RESPOND TO THAT? I DIDN'T ASK HIM THAT YET, BUT I WAS GOING TO ASK HIM IF HE WOULD STAY THROUGH THROUGH JANUARY. AND THEN I WAS GOING TO RECONNECT WITH BOBBY TROUT, BECAUSE I KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF HE JUST WANTS TO STEP BACK FOR LIKE A MONTH OR IF HE HAS THIS LIST, IF HE JUST WANTS TO TELL US WHO ON HIS LIST HE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR AND THEN KEEP HIM IN THE LOOP THAT WAY SO THAT WE DON'T LOSE.
I FEEL LIKE IF WE LOSE PEOPLE NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME PEOPLE VOTING ON WHAT WE STARTED WITH. BUT THAT'S ME, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT THAT.
I MEAN, IT MIGHT BE WE LOSE SOME PEOPLE AND THEN.
WE JUST CONTINUE ON WITH THE LIST WE HAVE, I GUESS, HOW WE HANDLED IT, HAS THERE BEEN ANY NEW ENTRIES ON MICHAEL JOHNSON'S PART TO RETURN? AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM.
DO YOU WANT ME TO REACH OUT TO HIM IF I TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT? A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND HE WAS HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO RETURN, BUT THEN IT HIT.
WELL, IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, SO I DON'T KNOW.
OK, I'LL REACH OUT TO HIM AND TO SEE IF HE WANTS TO, I'LL LET HIM KNOW WE HAVE SPACE ON THE COMMITTEE AND WE'D LOVE TO HAVE HIM BACK SO I CAN MAYBE THAT CAN BE A PART OF OUR COMMUNICATION OUT OF GETTING THE COMMITTEE BACK TOGETHER AND PUSHING FOR NOMINATIONS.
WE CAN ALSO PUT SOMETHING UP TO COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE UP AND WE'RE OPEN TO ADDITIONAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS, THAT KIND OF THING.
AND ALSO AND, YOU KNOW, ALIGNING WITH HOW WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT EQUITY AND ALL THESE THINGS WE THE SCHOOL LIKE.
AND LOOKING AT THE GROUP OF PEOPLE HERE, THERE'S A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE, NOT THAT MANY FEMALE REPRESENTATIVES ON THE GROUP.
AND AGAIN, LIKE YOU GUYS ALL KNOW SO MANY THINGS ABOUT ALEXANDRIA AND THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING OF OF KIND OF OLD TO SAY THAT WAY, THAT I THINK WE COULD HAVE SOME ALSO
[00:35:02]
PEOPLE WHO ARE A LITTLE BIT YOUNGER, TOO.I THINK THAT WOULD ALSO HELP BECAUSE THERE'S CERTAINLY I MEAN, MARKSTEIN HERE KIND OF THROUGH THE MIDDLE CHUNK AND STUFF.
BUT I THINK THAT WE COULD HAVE SOME REPRESENTATIVES THAT WERE A LITTLE BIT YOUNGER AND CPI'S AND THEN ALSO MORE FEMALE.
WELL, AND WE ALSO HAD, YOU KNOW, AT ONE POINT WE HAD A STUDENT MEMBER KIND OF WE COULD TRAVEL. WE COULD ALSO REVIVE THAT IDEA AND GET A MALE FEMALE STUDENT OR A FEMALE STUDENT OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, A STUDENT MEMBER TO HELP TALK IT UP.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'D BE A GREAT THING FOR THAT FOR THAT PERSON, FOR THEIR RESUME AND THAT KIND OF THING, TOO. BUT I CAN MAYBE WORK ON THAT.
BUT SOMETHING OUT TO THE KIDS AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO BE A PART OF THE GROUP.
AND WE HAVE TO BE. I THOUGHT ABOUT KATHY GRYMES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT A MARRIED NAME IS NOW, BUT SHE'S ON FACEBOOK.
SHE LIVES IN OXON HILL BECAUSE SHE HAS A SON WHO'S APPARENTLY A GOOD ATHLETE.
WHATEVER SPORT I KNOW, SHE'S AN ATTORNEY AS WELL.
BUT AND SHE'S IN. SO I THINK HAVING A AGAIN, SHE GIVES US A YOUNGER, OBVIOUSLY FEMALE PERSPECTIVE AND SHE'S CLOSE.
SHE'S RIGHT HERE. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF WE WE CANVASED PERHAPS SOME OF SOME OF THE 61 PEOPLE THAT ARE THAT ARE IN, WE MIGHT HAVE A POSSIBILITY.
I ALSO THINK THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR THE FACT THAT BECAUSE OF WHAT OUR LIFE IS NOW AND ZOOME LIKE EXPLORING THE OPTION OF MAYBE THE PERSON DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CLOSE.
RIGHT. THAT THEY COULD ZOOM IN TO MEETINGS.
AND SO THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET MORE OF A DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO COULD BE PART OF THIS. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT EVERYONE LIVES IN DRIVING DISTANCE, BUT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE CAN MAKE THESE MEETINGS WORK.
WE ASSUME IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO KIND OF KEEP IN OUR BACK POCKET.
IT'S THE ONE THING JUST TO NOTE ABOUT THE MEETINGS IS THAT THESE ARE SPOKEN LIKE FALL IN THE CATEGORY OF SCHOOL BOARD.
SO WE CAN ONLY HOLD THESE AS LONG AS WE'RE A IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO RETURN TO IN PERSON AT SOME POINT, MAYBE NOT YET, BUT BUT WHAT WE DO, YOU KNOW, WHO MAKES THOSE RULES THAT IF IT FEELS LIKE THAT IS A RULE THAT IS RIPE FOR CHANGE.
THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA MAKES THOSE RULES SO WELL WITH THAT VIRGINIA CODE.
SO IT WAS INEVITABLE. BUT THE TECHNOLOGY TO BRING SOME CAN HAVE AN MEETING, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU ZOUMA, SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS THERE TO BRING OTHER PEOPLE AND YOU CAN'T BE THERE.
SO, YEAH, YOU HAVE TO HAVE CORM IN THE ROOM.
SO IF WE GO BACK TO IN-PERSON MEETING AND THAT MAY NEVER BE THIS YEAR, BUT IF WE GO BACK TO IN-PERSON MEETINGS, WE CAN HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE CALL IN AS LONG AS WE HAVE A QUORUM IN THE ROOM.
MAJORITY HALF PLUS ONE, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY.
SO. WHICH I DON'T THINK WOULD BE HARD TO DO.
SO AND THEN I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THOSE NOTEBOOKS AND ALTHOUGH WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE NOMINATIONS WE HAVE CURRENTLY, MAYBE AT SOME POINT I CAN GET EVERYONE'S NOTEBOOK BACK TO UPDATE IT WITH ALL THE NEW NOMINATIONS THAT ARE COMING IN AND STUFF. OR I COULD JUST HAND THEM TO YOU.
I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW YOU ALL RIGHT.
ALL OVER THEM. SO I DON'T WANT ANYONE SEEING ME THAT OR.
AND I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF NOMINATIONS IN THERE WHERE WE HAVE NAMES.
I THINK JIM AND DANIELLE, WHEN YOU CAME UP WITH A BUNCH OF NAMES FOR WOMEN, I JUST HAVE NAMES. THERE'S NO INFORMATION OTHER THAN THEY WERE A SOCCER PLAYER.
I'M HAPPY TO DO A DISTRIBUTION FROM D.C.
YOU SEND ME SEND ME ANY NEW ONES.
I CAN PRINT OUT COPIES FOR ITS NAME AND JUST HAVE FUN.
THAT'S THAT. THROUGH COVID, SO I WANT TO DO IT BY PAPER.
THERE'S A WAY TO DO IT, OR YOU CAN SEND THEM TO US AS ATTACHMENTS AND WE CAN PRINT THEM OUT.
ALL RIGHT. OK, DOES ANYONE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT? NO, I TOOK A LOOK AT ALL THE DOCUMENTS, BY THE WAY, AND THEY LOOK FINE TO ME.
I'M SORRY, SAID, I GUESS I DID.
I READ THROUGH ALL THE DOCUMENTS AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS TO MAKE.
[00:40:03]
I JUST WANT TO MAKE A POINT ON.HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH POSSIBILITIES? I'M NOT SUGGESTING RONNIE RUSH, BUT AGAIN, RONNIE ROSS IS MY AGE, EVEN THOUGH HE GIVES US THE HAMMAN CONNECTION, WOULDN'T WE PREFER? KATHY GRYMES RECEIVED THE LEVEL OF HER INTEREST AND MAYBE EVEN MICHAEL JOHNSON'S DAUGHTER, WHO PLAYED A TEMPLE WHO WAS IN THE HALL OF FAME, WHO'S A LOCAL.
GO THAT ROUTE AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER GRAYBEARD, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A HUMAN CONNECTION.
I DON'T WANT TO REACH OUT TO RONNIE UNTIL WE GET SOME CLARITY AS TO WHICH DIRECTION PERHAPS WE SHOULD PROCEED, OTHER INDIVIDUALS, JUST TO SEE IF THEY HAVE AN INTEREST.
SO I THOUGHT I THOUGHT WE NEEDED MORE THAN ONE.
RIGHT. COULD WE DO? YES, WE ALL THEM.
SO THE COMMITTEE CAN BE UP TO 17 MEMBERS.
AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE JUSTICE.
SO WE HAVE QUITE A LOT OF ROOM AND I DON'T COUNT EITHER.
SO THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM ON THIS COMMITTEE FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON FROM A SCHOOL, BECAUSE CLEARLY WE HAVE A LOT ON IT ALREADY FROM TASB.
SO WE COULD TRY TO EVEN IT OUT SOMEWHAT.
SO, YEAH, I THINK WE WOULD DEFINITELY WANT TO PURSUE AMSTELL.
AND I THINK I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE ALL THOSE IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
BUT I WAS JUST TRYING TO SAY ALONG THOSE LINES, GET SOME LADIES AND SOME FOLKS.
RIGHT. AND WE CAN WE CAN DO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.
OK, I'LL GO AFTER ALL THREE OF THOSE THEN THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
OK, GREAT GRAMS. MICHAEL JOHNSON'S DAUGHTER AND RONNIE RUSS.
YOU KNOW, JIMMY, DO YOU KNOW DAVE MERCER WENT TO HAMMOND, PLAYED FOOTBALL? NO, HE WAS RIGHT.
HE WAS RONNIE RUSTIER AND HE WAS A TERRIFIC FOOTBALL PLAYER AT HAMMOND.
SO ACTUALLY, I'LL TALK TO HIM AND TALK TO RONNIE, ASK HIM ABOUT DAVE MERCER, ACTUALLY, TO ENGAGE KIDS, YOU KNOW, CLARK MERCER AND KELLY MERCER, AND THEY'RE IN THE AREA NOW.
SO HE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE AN INTEREST.
SO I THINK I THINK WE GET A PRETTY GOOD CROSS-SECTION.
AND I ABSOLUTELY HAVE AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, AS WE'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE OTHER LOCAL SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BACK TO PEOPLE.
I THINK I'VE TRIED TO REACH OUT TO THEM A FEW TIMES WITHOUT RESPONSE, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO ANY PEOPLE.
I GO TO THEIR HANNEMANN ALUMNI PAGE AND REACH OUT THAT WAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS.
I WANT TO HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE BECAUSE I CAN LOOK. YEAH, I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE.
THIS MIGHT HAVE. BUT I DO KNOW THAT IF YOU GO TO HAMMON'S PAGE, THERE'S A CONNECTION THERE TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
SO THAT WAS HOW I REACHED OUT TO JOHN'S POINT AND WAS ONLY THERE FOR 13 YEARS.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT TOUGH.
THANK YOU, SEAN CONNERY THERE FROM M.J..
I THINK THAT'S AT ALL, OR I THINK.
YEAH, JUST TO REMIND PEOPLE, THOUGH, THAT IF YOU WANT TO SEND ANY PROVISIONS INTO YOUR YOUR LAST LIST, WHICH I DON'T THINK I GOT REVISIONS FROM EVERYONE, IF THEY WANTED TO REVISE THEIR LIST OF NOMINEES FOR THIS GROUP WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON FIRST.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO JUST SEND ME A.
A. YES, I STILL WANT THIS LIST AND PLEASE ATTACH THE LIST, I HAVE A LOT OF EMAILS, BUT I HAVE THEM ALL. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
JUST IF YOU WANT TO JUST REAFFIRM YOUR LIST, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
WE HAD ONE CALL IN LISTENERS TODAY, DO WE WANT TO ASK THEM IF THEY WANT ANY QUESTIONS, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS A PHONE CALL, BUT WELCOME WHOEVER YOU ARE ON THE PUBLIC SIDE.
OK, SO IF NO ONE HAS ANYTHING ELSE, WE JUST IN THE MEETING.
[00:45:02]
THANK YOU. OK GUYS.BYE BYE.
