Here's one of the last items that'll be posted on this topic. It's from Bob Drury to Heather Black. Bob asked me to post it because it was sent to her as a PM and he, being somewhat computer challenged, didn't know how to post it. There are a few things I know better than Bob, it seems, 'cause here it is:
"Heather, thank you for your input on the communications issue.
My initial post was meant as a personal rant of frustration from two days of visiting fellow racers in the parking lots and restaurants throughout Wendover.
Allthough it may seem to some that I had or have a vendetta against Scott (whom I have never met) or trying to have whomever was involved in the communication decisions lynched that wasn't my goal or agenda.
In truth, I saw Scott doing a TV interview while I was trying to find a current weather forcast on Friday night. I was very impressed with his calm, professional demeanor and thought it was the best presentation ever by a SCTA official.
I don't know if the decision was made by him or a committee or anyone else and have never had any negative thoughts about any SCTA personel having only met a few. I have never met or talked with Scott, nor seen him in person.
I usually try not to be a rabble rouser but in this instance I knew that someone had to ignite discussion before hopefully the W.O.S. which I realize is not put on by us, and the W.F.'s.
What I was hoping for was a factual discussion looking for ideas to be quickly forwarded to SCTA officials and hoping for a quick clarification of our communicaltion policies and have a final declaration sent to all SCTA/BNI members.
I can live with whatever is agreed on but it needs to be done ASAP, and not after two months of mulling over be committee, et al.
I won't deny that I first and foremost believe if at all possible, the use of mobile accessable phone recorded messages as the
First line on communication, followed by the SCTA website and then F.B. and any other means available including this forum.
In hindsight, I wish I had not been quite so inflamitory in my opening post but I felt I needed to somehow prod others to get off their butts and offer their suggestions rather that whine about it for the next ten years but take no action.
I knew going in that I wouldn't make many new friends but was willing to take that risk to try and get this issue resolved asap.
In closing, I just want to say how much I appreciate your input and with a name behind it, I definatley RESPECT YOU MORE!!!
I hope to meet you soon , and offer a hug...........
"One Run" Bob Drury (and I mean it)
