When you, Andy, so quickly chose sides and voiced your opinion on the Sherry issue. That is when members lost respect for you. As by-laws committee chairperson you should have never aired an opinion publicly. You certainly are entitled to an opinion but w/ the position you held. General membership should have never known it!  Not only that but you certainly did a little bashing of your own and many members felt and still feel that their suggestions were never taken seriously. But hey thats history and thats fine.

           You wouldn't believe how full my email is these days Andy. Why it started with just  small notes to and fro...."lets start a new club"   At first we figured on just keeping the new club in the east but it seems a few out west likes the idea and alot of good suggestions are being shared on what people would like to see in a new club. 

 Its really a shame Andy you based  the merit of members suggestions for your by-laws committee on what that members opinion was with the Nov. fiasko.  I personally believe YOU could have made the difference in HPOCA but there again I have already discussed that in my 1st paragragh.

                        I will not email Mr. Duroe or Mr. Allen. I have thought about it but see no sense in it.  I would like to see the new HPO by-laws in the next magazine.  These last posts were last ditch efforts in maybe opening up communication with the president of HPOCA, especially, but we'd settle for the Pres. of HPO!  One of the suggestions for the new club is that the president of it should be available  to answer questions publicly. Best place to do so is on an internet forum. Oh well, I suppose Terry Allen is much to busy with the HPO to bother with HPOCA.
                 You know what, at first I had my doubts about a second Oliver club but i think maybe it'll be alright.
                      
            While I do realize Mr. Allen has an email. I should hope he realizes i have a PM box!!!

Well enjoy your time w/ you computer turned off
