This is a legitimate problem, which Jeremy and I had to deal with when
we were newly installed as TB's.  There was a gentleman here, who
would come out and play hard, contribute bunches, have fun, then
dissapear for months sometimes years.  He began playing more consistently
so we were finally able to nail him with an AoA, but it was difficult to do!
That is one of the things we as TB's are supposed to do for the people of
our areas.  Make sure recognition is given where it's due!  Even if we have
to have the award charter re-done and signed by every Crown for over a
year! We WILL get you!
