That's a thoughtful response, George, particularly from someone involved in SARs. Are you at Ostrander this winter?
Moving in a different direction, one assumption that I see voiced frequently in such discussions, is the value of volunteer SAR. Frequently, what is voiced is that most SAR is volunteer, so there is no value attached to it, and charging someone is moot. Somehow, that really bothers me, as a person who does various volunteer activities. I think it really devalues the worth of the SAR work. I think the worth is what would be paid to maintain equivalent professional groups able to do the work, whatever that would be.
