I also strongly support a new magazine outside the HPOCA.  Regardless of the future of the HPOCA, we will be able to retain a central point of contact for those interested in the hobby.  Even more important we can retain Sherry as editor of an outstanding antique tractor magazine.  It will benefit everyone.
    On the subject of the current officiers and board I still believe that their actions and unwillingness to respond to legitimate member questions disqualifies them for office.  Maybe Andy is right, maybe we need a transitional period, but not a long one.  If the officiers and board would resign effective this summer then elections could be held.  I also believe that no officier or board member should be allowed to hold office for more than 4 years.  Regional selection of officiers and board members would help also help end the clique.  When an officier from one state leaves his successor should come from another state
