[Farmall] Red power attendance

[Jim Becker]

I noticed Darrell has been adding them to the calendar lately.  I thuoght he 
was trying to fill the page.  I don't think that a year ago you saw much 
listed that was more than a year ahead.  If you go look at the web site, you 
will find entries for one each RPR, auction and winter convention.  Two out 
of three of them are history.  The only way you find a web site for anything 
later is to know what chapter is doing it and follow the links through to 
the chapter sites.

It is amazing how little attention people pay to some things.  I've lost 
track of how many posts have been on this mailing list telling when and 
where this year's RPR is, yet people keep asking.
