I have read the many posts and tried to get a handle on what the REAL story is concerning the firing of our previous editor. I was hoping that the next HPOCA magazine would have an explanation in it that would help clear things up. My membership expires in March so I need to renew and will, FOR NOW and probably in the future because I enjoy the magazine. I have no doubt that Chris and Becky can continue on with the same GREAT magazine we have had in the past. They have been put in an awkward position by having to go from zero to editing a national publication in a short period of time. I BLAME the board for that. I believe it was their abruptness in firing Sherry that has upset many people. And their UNWILLINGNESS to give solid explanations has only added fuel to the fire. They could have handled it in a much better and more well thought out way.  I plan on trying to get more involved in the future and hope that anyone that has a concern about the association and what goes on with it will also! I know many people join just for the magazine alone, and that is fine. I would like to see, and this website is the perfect forum, the general membership kept up-to-date on the minutes and happenings of the club. I know it has been stated that this is a public forum and that private issues should not be posted here. Not revealing what the goings-on of the organization are only causes members and non-members alike to be skeptical and less likely to get involved or join at all. I am going to give &amp;quot;things&amp;quot; time to work out and then go from there. This association can be a wonderful source of History, Information and Fellowship if we put the good of the association FIRST and ourselves second. Sorry to ramble and vent, but thought it was time to do so. John Hume #3527 aka Wrenchbender.
