<VV> My individual take on prejudice

[henry kaczmarek]

Chuck
The year was late 1999-early  2000. I WON---but it wasn't easy.   Most of 
the directors thought our book was a good idea.

I've let the experience go.  But YOU ASKED FOR IT.

The board members name who refused to vote for it and encouraging the board 
not to spend the money for our book was Ron Peles, Eastern Division director 
and a long standing friend of Bob Marlow.

He said his "Fiduciary Duty to CORSA" would not allow him to vote for a 
1500.00 expenditure.   Of course he had no problem funding his own pet 
project, the infamous "CORSA Kiosk", which I have yet to see, and have read 
on VV stories about how pieces of it were once spread throughout the western 
US.    I e-mailed and spoke to him on the phone several times, and he had no 
cogent reason not to vote for it.  Then he told me he had a family member 
sick with cancer and not to bother him further.

Now ask yourself---How many members have benefitted from Corvair Basics, and 
how many members have benefitted from the CORSA Kiosk?  How many new members 
have the book vs were recruited by this white elephant?

At the 2000 Convention, Larry Claypool and I presented the book to the CORSA 
General Membership Meeting.  All directors were present.  When the meeting 
broke up I tried to speak to Director Peles.  He hauled his ass out of the 
room so fast I couldn't have caught him if I ran.

Sorry Bob---I didn't want to open this can again.  I felt like Chuck was 
assailing my integrity, and he should have known better.

Chuck---Is the Brush BROAD enough for you now?

I reported it as it happened, and none of it was made up.

Hank
