<VV> Pink slip...

[The Reinharts]

All, Everyone, including Hank, has a right to their opinion and has the 
freedom to voice that opinion here. Again I will state: Jack was 
automatically terminated per the by-laws. He was notified by President 
Mahler through e-mail and postal mail that his term had been terminated, 
BUT, he could have himself reinstated if he would respond and follow the 
steps for reinstatement. Jack has not responded to anyone. He may have 
decided that he didn't want to be reinstated. So far I have not seen or 
heard from anyone that Jack has actually asked to be reinstated. Until we 
actually hear from Jack we are all jumping to conclusions. Thanks

Jamie Reinhart
CORSA Central Director
