    Good letter - Let 'em have it, Steve.

 I am always dishartened by the likes of statements found in the Times
 article regarding an individuals hobby and/or interests.  Sadly, too many
 folks subscribe to a common thought process that unless it is golf, tennis
 or some other main-stream thing pursued by many, then folks
 that do things like amateur radio, stamp collecting, antique car
 restoration,
 model railroading, etc.are viewed as kooks.
 I don't push my interests on anyone, but I do get steamed when folks
 denigrate interests they don't share.
 Cheers,

Hello, Bill
You must remember that golf is important.  It is popular with the upper
echelons of corporations.  It is there you learn to shave strokes off you
score.  These lessons can be applied in corporate America.  Corporations
such as Enron and others
