I was honored when Bedard called on me to be part of his campaign. I had some reservations. Mainly working side by side with BMN--given our well known differences. Berdard's firm no-nonsense approach not only won me over, but he made me realize that the differences I've had with BMN are trivial. That both BMN and I strive to make the zone a better place, and as odd as it sounded at the time, that BMN and I are not too different. I agree. I feel like a cloud has been lifted. Bedard opened my eyes. Berdard made me a better Zoner. With a authoritative yet welcoming voice, Berdard then went on to show me how I've not only been wrong about BMN, but wrong about others. I'm proud to be serving under Bedard and alongside some of the greatest Zoners.
