Andy,

I guess I base my opinion on the fact that when the board fired Sherry you appeared to back them 100%. You also took a hard line against Sherry. I know since then you seemed to be less critical of her. My stand is that when you go back to that time (when she was fired) the board acted in an autocratic manner. Terry promised but never really gave any honest explanation. Not to rehash, since what's done is done. He still refuses to respond to the members in a way that would satisfy them. 

In my own case if Terry and his board had explained themselves and truly were serving the members in the best way, I would have backed them.
I had no connection to Sherry prior to this mess. I did always feel she did a good job on the magazine. I think as it all turned out, she is probably better of on her own. It's unfortunate the way things did work out for the members. It has showed us we have a president that basically does'nt give a "you know what" about us, or the HPOCA as a whole. Ignoring the issues is a real bad move on his part. Anyway, it will change as I feel confident that this group will not serve another term. The only problem, as I have said before is that the nominating process is totally wrong. The way it stands, we will have new officers, but they will be from the "good ol boys" group, as they can control the process the way they want it. It's sad that a tractor club has to get so mired in politics. 

Anyway, just my thoughts on the whole situation. Hope all is well with you
down thar in W VA.
