Andy:

Thanks for the U2U response.  I hope you get more input from the members than you have to date on the web.  I thought maybe my post on the web would get others to write in.  As you have indicated member input is always needed for an organization like HPOCA.

I read what you said about Sherry, but she better have done something really on the edge at that board meeting to warrant all the "stirring of the pot" that has been created.  Basically I liked the magazine.  I thought she had done a good job of improving it over the years.  Anyone that read my copy that was not a member always was impressed by the quality and information in it.  I hope these new guys don't get too carried away with HPOCA stuff instead of historical stuff and information as to what indiviual members are doing.

You talk about your trucking business and relationships with your customers.  but I'd bet they don't tell you how many straps to use, which route to take, where to buy fuel etc.  In other words the "nitty gritty" of trucking is left up to you.  I think the same should be true of the magazine editor.  What I'm saying is that Sherry better have been doing something with the magazine that really hurt the club instead of stepping on the toes of the directors.  Whether they admit it or not the directors should know we had a good/great magazine and when all was said and done that was what Sherry was hired to do.

Thanks for listening.
