I have been reading this thread and the others here and on YTMAG trying like everyone else to figure out what is going on. Nearas I can tell Sherry wasn&#039;t fired because the board/club spent too much money on the #3 restoration. Don&#039;t quite see how she can be resposible for that since as faras I know she isn&#039;t the treasurer. 
  I read on one of the posts that one possible reason was that she printed a letter to the editor about the restoration and the money involved and that according to the board? it shouldn&#039;t have been allowed in that particular part of the magazine because it is supposed to be for tractor information.

  I feel that if the letter had information that pertains to the club then it would be natural to print it in the club magazine. Thats what it is published for right? For the members to get info from?  If the board goes by that logic then it would appear ( an from all I have read alot of members do take it this way) that the board is trying to hide something. Heck it would actually make more sense to post the letter there where generally only the memebers will read about it that it is to post it on the Web where everyone can read it. 

 I stated in one post a couple of days ago that if there were these (on-going issues ) with Sherrys job performance are there any reprimands or grievences ( for lack of a better word ) on file in the board meeting minutes or records? If there are and nothing was resolved then I can understand a little better why she was let go. If however there is nothing there I would think the board might want to re-think their decision. 

 Also one person asked what the $1400+ on the copy of the shipping bill is. That looks to be the rent of the trailer and the milage added together.  Could be wrong on that as I haven&#039;t seen a copy of the bill but it adds up. 

  I do have to agree though that even as a soon to be member I would have been proud to donate my time and truck to haul #3. However since this is not just any tractor I wouldn&#039;t have wanted to be responsible for its safety and as someone else said ,Smithsonian decided who hauled it. Since my company ships alot of parts I can say that most of the time you ship on who they tell you to. It&#039;s their tractor so they decide. if I owned something worth that much I sure wouldn&#039;t want anyone else telling me who to use to ship on and who not to. 

  Sherry, are you going to post a copy of the letter on this forum when you get it? I am assuming that you will as all these folks are backing you big time! I am curious also as I have read a friends magazines and think you do a great job and amaze me at times with the amount of knowlege of Oliver equipment that you have. If it is over the posting of this letter I think they are wrong, a reprimand if they want to do something but not this.
