Sam,
Thank you for responding. I appreciate the fact that You are at least conversing with some of the membership. You may not be a board member, but being a blood relative is the closest thing to it. After waiting for , pleading, prodding, daring and challenging our board We FINALY got as close to authority as we probably ever will.
Although I don't really agree with anything you have said up to this point, I have to admire your fastedious approach to your point of view. 
As for mud slinging, You will have to refresh my memory because I don't think that I have ever tried to defame anyones personal character, especially by calling them names. Nor by starting vicious rumors intended to have serious personal consiquences. Nor by slandering someone with a blind post the way Jim Kline did to Sherry.        Larry Coltrin
