Having served in many non profit organizations in all positions, (church, aerobatic club, flying club, etc) I have no desire to be anything more than a participating Indian. No more chief jobs! As I age to retirement, I notice that the ice that I tread on becomes thinner with each passing year. 
     With the prospect of an undetermined amount of enjoyable years of retirement, I don't have time to sit this situation out and just wait. Therefor, I am proposing the following:
An appointment committee chaired by Ed Brandt, and consisting of a Representative member of each HPOCA chapter to formulate an interum governing body. (There isn't enough time to hold an election) This can quickly be done via telephone and e-mail.
I have chosen Ed because He has been one of the most out spoken people on this issue, and although I do not always agree with him, I do respect anyone that stands up and speaks for what He believes in. Now is the time to act.

The committees' deadline should be set to allow  notification of the entire membership in time for the summer show. I will personally underwrite 1/2 of the cost of mailings. ($1100.00??) The membership in attendance at the summer show will vote on the removal from office proceedings and approve the appointment committees' selection, that will serve until the next general election.

Our leadership is a void, in my opinion. This club, at present has NO LEADERSHIP! I applaud Mr. Klines above post, as this is the FIRST POST I've seen from ANYONE from the current BOD, save for the non-explaination from the president. There has been ample time since this "nightmare" began for our leadership to respond....ZERO.

Ed Brandt, I truly hope you pick up the ball and run with it! You have my full support, as one member. For the rest of the membership, the rehtoric is over. If you are as sick as I am of this whole mess, the time to do something about it is NOW. Either stand up and be counted or sit down, shut up and take what you get! Next batter up please...Larry Coltrin#10010535 
PS I hope there is never a need for the term"renegade" in the HPOCA again!
