Decorum in the Flag Line was stressed in the briefing and once we took our places, lots of folks seemed to forget about it.  I'm pretty lenient about quiet conversations when there are no family or guests in view, but I guess I'm going to have to just ban it completely.  Jean Clark and DeeAnna Green were asked three times, by two different RCs, to please stop their conversation - to no affect.  I didn't see it, but two folks told me that Danny Cain must have had a very important phone call to make, as he took about 5 steps away from the Flag Line to have it.  I was told by a RC that it is a regular thing with him.  Had I witnessed it, I would have asked him to leave.  Cold and dark day, but lots of Riders showed up and everything else went well.
