RKKay · November 18, 2004 2:15PM

<< I'm out,I'm 51. >>

Should we change the rules to "'you have to act younger than 21"?

relayer · November 18, 2004 2:19PM

<< room and board (in the dorms) >>

Can you make that a suite at the Hilton?

Lakesammman · November 18, 2004 2:56PM

Great plan - looking forward to the reading the winning essay.

Sandhawk · November 18, 2004 3:18PM

Should we change the rules to "'you have to act younger than 21"?

No, because then that would make most of the people on the boards eligible!

Dennis88 · November 18, 2004 4:50PM

That's great. As both of you know, I can't compete, but I would love to read the winning essay

I'm 16 and live in the Netherlands, but my parents will never allow me to go alone to the US. So I have to wait 2 years before I'm 18.

Rick and Boiler,

Wonderful gesture on your part. Hope all the YN's compete.

This is a once in a life-time opportunity for a YN. Wish I had gone when I was young (er).
