<VV> From a Spineless, Corrupt Past CORSA President

[peter koehler]

My, my. Some of these attacks are getting pretty personal, 
don't you think? Even though I live in Pennsylvania my 
"other" Corvair Club is that "large, Mid-Western" group 
that does not require 100% membership in the larger 
National organization. I think I understand the reasons 
why they don't require it and I agree with those reasons. 
I ran for the BoD way back when to defend those reasons. 
If you take a historical view of what we have now and what 
the situation was back in the late '70's it used to be all 
about the insurance coverage. We were told that we all had 
to belong to CORSA to get coverage. Well, that was not 
exactly the truth and we negotiated a policy that gave us 
the coverage we needed while not forcing anybody to do 
something that they didn't want to do.

So what I think would be a better idea today rather than 
painting all previous volunteers with the same broad 
brush, would be to look for ways to improve the 
organization so that your members in the local clubs would 
want to join their friends in the National club.

Of course you could propose a change to the bylaws if that 
is what you truly feel is the best solution to our current 
problem. It is my opinion that a shotgun wedding does not 
necessarily result in the best long term relationship. -
