That is what I heard. I went to congratulate him, but thought better, and offered him a “good luck”

It has been glossed over, Steve put it in an article but in Al fashion, he hasn’t made a big deal about it. Steve has done an outstanding job for 12 years, I don’t think anyone would be better suited to take the baton than Al. I know Al is someone, like Steve, that will attend Worlds and the Gold Cup each year. Congratulations Al! I know you’ll do a great job for the IAWA!

When I had my OTSM meet the other day, I made up certificates and put me and Al on them for signatures and under Al’s name I put, IAWA President….he started to sign it and gave me a sly grin…..I asked him if he minded me putting that and he said, “Well…no…I am”. I thought it was kinda funny as I think that’s when reality sunk in.

Thanks guys for the support!
When Steve asked me last year if I would be willing to take this position, I initially had some reservations. Steve has been such an outstanding President of the IAWA over the past 12 years that I knew it would be “big shoes to fill”. However, after thinking about it for a while, I knew I could perform the duties of President.
The biggest responsibility of the IAWA President is to attend all of the IAWA activites – which include the Worlds and Gold Cup every year – to oversee the proper administration of IAWA policy. Attending these functions is something I’ve been doing now, and plan to in the future, so that is not a problem.
I promise to do my best to continue what Steve has been doing. IAWA is a democratic organization that listens to the voice of the membership. I wholeheartly support that! We have a great World-wide organization. Al
