Hey Tom get real...We don't need no stinking Pirate running this ship

We need an eagle:

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles...they don't flock, you find them one at a time...." , JVD

Bill:

I'm confident that good 'ol "PegLeg VanDorn" is much too smart to even think about running this august organization. (how is the leg healing JVD?)

I'm pretty sure running this rag tag band of megalomaniacs, tyrants and misfits would be just about as much fun and as productive as herding cats.

No siree Bob, I mean Bill. I've had my share of that stuff. I ran our Corvette Club for a few years, started the Grand Sport Registry, Pirate stuff, etc.etc. It's a lot of work gang. The board is a committment and those who serve the club should be commended and appreciated (under normal circumstances).

But there's always room for change once in a while, new ideas, new blood, new visions. Some people think a change has to be a negative. I think it can be very positive. Besides, it's not fair for some to have to do all of the work.

I guess the hardest but most rewarding job I ever had was that of Dad. I used to say I couldn't wait 'til they hit 18 so I could be done with them. Yeah right. But it is nice when they tell you later you did a good job.

No, you guys do your thing and leave me to BBQ'ing and keeping the beer cold. I'll try not to screw it up.

I was thinking more of a replacement for Obama - can't think of a better use for a Pirate Infidel

After wading through this thread, all I can say is ...wow....

Nice Post JVD

Right before BG this year, i had the opportunity to talk with quite a few of our
registry members that were traveling by or calling, about the....... "flint caper"

The conclusion or the gist of what i got out of those discussions were

If one does such an act and is indeed innocent, why not personally STATE the facts as they happened, explain thyself.

AND...make a 'Formal' apology, to the board, and all the members of the registry.

Because whether one intends, to pay back a sum of capital they are intrusted with, and after a few months, they have not mentioned a word about it, to anyone else on the board, well, ask yourself is that acceptable, no,i'm afraid it's actually criminal.


Quite simple actually.

I've seen no posts from Jeff, no defense of accusations. Nothing....Nada.

It's a shame, really, a young guy with a passion and Knowledge for cars, and the ZR1.

Ruining his reputation, for a little over a thousand bucks.

And.... if the board swept the info...under the rug, so to speak, as JVD stated, that Jeff was never stranded, but used the credit cars to purchase parts for his business. well....i'm quite suprised, in these days of scandal, everywhere, they would take the chance, of making themselves targets for further problems, after all, they were trying to clean up a mess.

The reason this issue is still being discussed, is there has been no closure,

The facts are muddled, but, since, JVD's post, No rebuttals have come forthwith, so, i assume, what he posted is the truth.

I sure wish everyone would not resort to name calling, the elections are in a week or so.
Don't like something, change it. Vote..express thyself.

Sincerely,

KEITH, JVD's post is 70% correct. It is not my place to fill in the blanks. I agree with you Keith, Vote this fall and bring about some positive change. I do find it amazing that everyone takes JVD's version as gospel.
