This is true.  At a board meeting over the weekend, the board went into a closed meeting and 2 hours later, I was fired.  I had NO clue whatsoever.  Now that I've been digging into it, I find out that they started this process shortly after Penfield.  

Your suspicions are correct.  This all leads back to jealousy.  They admitted that they find no fault with the job I'm doing or the magazine.  It's strictly personal.  Not only have they ripped my heart out, but they just made me an unemployed person.  Now I have to go out and beg for a job somewhere.  I used to be a respected person, now I'm unemployed for no good reason. 

I can only hope that the membership can overthrow this current board and get this straightened out.  I know that a contract is being drawn up today with a new editor and company.  And it will cost the club more money than I did.  

They won't even let me say goodbye in the magazine.  I'm DONE effect NOW.  There was a 60 day clause in the contract, but they are even willing to buy their way out of that to assure I don't get the last word in.  

It has been an honor and a privelege to work as your editor and I can't even imagine what I'll do without it.  For 10 years I've been part of this club and 7 people took it all away from me.  It's a dark day  in this Oliver household.

I am so sorry. It has been a pleasure meeting you and having Oliver conversations. As you know I live in TN and don't have a lot of pull however I need you to send me the primary people involved in this unethical behavior. Send by U2U and I will help any way I can.
