I admire and respect Chester Wright.
However, numbers alone do not indicate success.
Also, I had friends from WPF and ALJC who attended.
So, not all of those attendees were UPC.
I will say that I agree with his premise.
The curious thing that happened with the departure of some to the WPF was that the UPC became more conservative.
And the WPF has grown more "tolerant" since it began.
