That's what I said.  I don't think that the local president cares
what the big shots say, and therefore someday he will be kicked out
also, but he says that he does not aggree with them, and he will
argue with them.  He is a nice guy, and I hope for his sake that he
does not get kicked out, but if he were to switch over, we would
sure have a good worker, but he says he won't quit.
