I think Terry has made almost every possible exilination of this ordeal that is possible without getting into specific detail of what Sherry did that her contract was terminated.  I think there is one big point that a lot of people are missing here.  As Terry explained this is the kind of information that would be included in an employee personel file, and I have never seen an instance where a personel file has been made public information.  If this were done it could be seen as a defamation of character, and doing this can open the club up legally, aside from just being flat out improper conduct.  If she wants to share the specific reasons of her termination that were stated in that letter, then that is her right.  Until then it is something that should be between her and the board.  As I&#039;m sure a lot of you can relate to, being terminated is not a pleasant experience and for most it is very uncomfortable to talk about things that you have done wrong.  

Also, I have seen people that are assuming that just because they haven&#039;t seen these problems that they don&#039;t exist.  The majority of this organization sees that since we have a great magazine that everything must be running smoothly.  There are many things behing the scenes that the average person does not see.  I think it would be pretty difficult for the board to make these problems up out of thin air.  And besides that, they have nothing to gain in doing so.  This board is giving their time to serve this organization, and their benefit is the enjoyment of a great hobby.  And that is where we should aim our focus, not on a problem with personel, but on the enjoyment of the Oliver tractor.  We still have a great organization and a great magazine with a perfectly capable editor from our own ranks.  If this magazine sees a decline in quality, THEN is the time for critisizm, but until then give our board the benefit of the doubt. <!-- s:cool: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt=":cool:" title="Cool" /><!-- s:cool: -->
