I was kind of wainting for the diagrams to go with it on the web but maybe it should be there now. I can add the graphics later I guess. Look for it on www.nfhr.com soon. It will be under "Fjord Standards" in place of what is there now.

It has grown to be the largest Fjord Registry in the US or Canada We must be doing something right. >Mike and I have both been printing many of the pertinent ideas for >consideration by the Board.

You wouldn't believe how much we talk here until you print them out! It was a stack of paper of at least an inch thick for each of them. I have also forwarded all of them to any of the BOD not on the list. As of right now all of the BOD members that have email are on the list except for 2 of them. One of them has just gotten setup with his own email so he can join now to. That only leaves 3 members that are not on the list yet. Not to bad, that is 2/3rds of them plus me. Mike
