<!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> It expired in May of this year. I had a really tough debate with myself on whether or not to renew. My family has had Olivers or Oliver equipment since the turn of the century when the company was founded. It was 1978 before we had a tractor of another brand. I grew up believing in Olivers and continue to use them daily. I thought I had found a place where I could expound upon this, but I cannot support people who can't deal openly and honestly. I know this has turned into a mess, but it could have been prevented with some open honesty on the pres. and boards part. I was told that Sherry should answer those questions, but I don't understand that position. I don't believe someone who is no longer employed has any responsibility to the members; however the people who have been elected do have a duty to the membership. It is my opinion that this duty has not been fulfilled. I wish the Loseys well on their work as they have been put in the tough spot. I hate that I won't be around to see the end results.
