Eric,

Your history article, including Rene's input is good!

Please try not to be too judgmental or critical about "IRSO and USAJRF".
Over the years, both IRSO and USAJRF have been very happy to share their
expertise at workshops and camps. In fact, I believe the ERSO was an
outgrowth of IRSO and the efforts of Rich Cendali. The sharing has
continued since IRSO merged into USAJRF.

Every country runs their organization differently. USAJRF is entirely
non-profit and self-supporting. It is not assisted by the US Olympic
Committee, the National PE organization or any other administrative body.
A great deal of time, effort and money have been put into the
publications and videos we have developed. In an ideal world we would
give them all away, but we cannot afford to do that.
