Ok Todd,
I'll give you my story.
My son, who is 14, is a full member of the club (WAMALUG). I don't babysit him
and neither do any of the other members of club. He is as concientious as a 14
year old can be.
How does he enrich WAMALUG? He runs errands when they need running. He watches
the door, (as he did for BRICKFEST). He's informative. He brings a new
perspective to others about building ideas, (odd though they sometimes are).
He crashes trains, (which on the whole is not good, but then everyone has
crashed a train on a setup at least once). He doesn't cause trouble, and to
some degree is a good sport about derisive treatment to himself and
the "Timmy" association. He is, on the whole entertaining.
I'll say right now that I'm biased, and that I would encourage other
WAMALUGer's to either denounce or uphold my opinion, (er... open discussion),
and for that matter anyone else who had contact with my son, (Mike), at
BRICKFEST.
(if this posted already once... I'm sorry....)
Rich
