Bob 
Sorry if you took what I said and then the mention of your name as a characterization of what you tried to do when you went on the board. After re-reading what I wrote I realize I could have taken it that way.  This was not my intention. 

Lon pretty much said exactly what I did mean.  Some people come on to the Board with lots of ideas, many I'm sure good ones.  But there is much difficulty in getting maybe only ONE of those ideas to come to fruition.  I'm sure you would agree with me about that. 

That's what I meant. Sorry you read too much into it.  I see though how I could have done the same, and I apologize if you think I wrote that in some mean spirited way, it's just not so. 

Many people who read this daily can attest that I have admitted MANY times, that though you and I had our moments, I still considered you a friend and a confidant, (though I don't hear much from you anymore. )

There WAS some discussion that included you recently, when someone went to your place to buy a car.  I said nothing disparaging about you at the time, and didn't pay much mind to what WAS said. Everyone has their opinions about both of us Bob, and you know how much that concerns me. 

I did speak to a couple of directors who initmated that they felt that was kind of the attitude you brought to the board. If you remember, while you were running I was in your corner 100%, and I didn't get upset when you quit the board. 

Take it of what it's worth, I did NOT mean to try and characterize you 100% by my remark.  But if you want to hold it against me, I'll remember that we all try to follow God's rule, forgiving those who have wronged you whether they apologize or not (AND I AM), and turning the other cheek, but we are all human, prone to failure, and that doesn't always happen, even to those how preach the Word.   So I'll understand if you dont.

Best Wishes 
Hank

  Hank,

  Contrary to what some may think, I still have a few friends in the Corvair community and a couple still subscribe to VV.  One of those just forwarded this below to me a few minutes ago.  I would appreciate if it you all who want to blast Pastor Bob (I understand there was a big to do a few months ago about me as well) would get their facts straight or at least give me the benefit of posting what actually happened.  I did NOT go in telling anyone (in your words) "I've got everything figured out, just do it MY way".  I DID go in with fresh ideas that I knew worked from experience - they weren;t interested therefore I didn't see the need to waste any more of my time.  I don;t want this to sound arrogant but I am sure it will come across that way, but the last time I checked, none of the BOD members have run major multi-million dollar businesses from infancy to profitability including turning several around from losing propositions to prifitable businesses in only a short period of time.  I have and still do.  SO maybe, jsut maybe, I knew what I was talking about.  But that is not the reason I am emailing you.  I simply ask that you do me the favor of either not posting about me or at least only post what is true.  If you want to post that I got sick of the BOD and quit, that is fine - that is true.  If you want to post that I left VV because of how I felt I was treated and the general attitude of so many Corvair owners, that will be true as well.  If you want to post that I have no desire to be associated with CORSA, that is true as well but don't post that I made a statement like you claim I made.  On a side note,  I actually find it amusing that 5 years after I left people still have nothing better to do than blast me - they must really live a sad and empty lives!!!   In hindsight, I wish I had never ran for the BOD - a total waste of my time and expense to go to Chicago.  CORSA is and will always be a dying entity - not because it has to be but because the folks on the BOD want status quo.  Status Quo results in a dying business or organization.  I have seen it happen too many times.

  As I said, I still have a few freinds in the Corvair world - I thought you were one of them but after seeing your post I guess I was wrong.

  BTW just for the record, I had contacted Lon this morning trying to get your tank delivered for you (the same friend forwarded an email about something coming up I-65) - should show you that I don't hold gruges against folks.

  Bob

  DID YOU FORGET TO PUT (HUMOR) On THIS? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!

  If you are, don't worry about getting elected. 

  If you aren't, and by some miracle you DO get elected, don't think you're gonna walk in to the BOD and tell them "I've got everything figured out, just do it MY way"  THAT has been tried before.  Ask someone for Pastor Bob's Address. 

  If you are serious, You've got a LOT to learn about this club.
