Don't slap the old guys too hard. They are the only ones with time
available to go into the schools and recruit the young. The rest of us have
to earn a living. Many of us work days and simply cannot go into the
schools. The ones who work nights have to sleep in the day. So it will be
counterproductive to alienate the older guys and gals. If you want programs
in the schools, it would behoove you to start recruiting the older amateurs
to do it.

Perhaps 20-35 year old guys can make real contact with the youth and
influence them, older that that, forget it.

Personally, I just work on supplying them with fuel for their minds to
burn ... I have a rig on campus with a "miracle microvert antenna", it
is a real conversation starter I find--and NO, I didn't ask permission
evil grin ...
