This is my second time joining. To set things straight, I too visited the Plain City show. There I tried to meet some of the parties to be, including the current editor at that time. I really felt like I got a cold shoulder and a I'm too good for you attitude. I dismissed it as just being busy, so I tried it again when there was apparent down time. Same response. Thus I did not renew my membership. When I heard Chris was doing the magazine and some of the direction the club was now going, I decided to rejoin. Even though I had never met Chris personally until the Madison show, he has always helped me keep my Olivers running with sound mechanical advice and tips through the Olivergang site. I knew his knowledge of Olivers would benefit the magazine. I am not any board crownie, but I will say the few that I met seem to have something in common as I do....we enjoy Olivers. Believe me guys, Terry Allen is a good man and is good for HPOCA. I wish somehow you guys could overcome your differences. The organization would benefit leaps and bounds.
