This will be my last post on any of this, unless there is real information available. I really get a kick out of doing stuff with like-minded people, and it seems that a strong commitment to something helps override any differences, political, religious, or whatever. I have enjoyed meeting many of you and I also enjoy throwing a party. That's why I did the Mountain View fly-in last year and why I'm working with Andy to do the Mountain View and Branson events this year. I have enjoyed the two nationals I've gotten to attend, too. My interest in Dayton is that it's a chance for a bunch of us to get together, talk, enjoy our passion, and maybe take a flight or two together. If the EOC is there to help, great! I appreciate them for that! But hey, it's our party and we shouldn't have to rely on anyone else to make it fun for us! So let's plan on gathering in Dayton on the dates planned. If the EOC can give us some help, that's wonderful and I'll gladly accept it. If not, I can't imagine a place I'd rather be or a group I'd rather do stuff with. So I intend to land at Moraine Airpark the afternoon of Friday, June 19, and spend the weekend. I hope to see some other coupes and have a good time!

It was honest and he never got an answer so if you know something, I'd like to hear that rather than your criticism of him. It seems that this forum quickly gets hijacked when someone has the audacity to question the EOC. This is not a forum for EOC, in case you've forgotten. I won't aggravate myself about that any longer as EOC specifically matters not to me, but your attitude isn't fair to the new people. Not everyone is willing, able or qualified to be able to do something for an organization and view the monetary contribution as their part. Some folks don't realize that their small contribution will make a difference. Some are happy just to have a club and others choose to view past practices and policies and refuse to attach themselves to an org! anizatio n. If there are good people doing things that benefit the membership then it's grand. Bad people using the funds and supplementing their own personal boys club, then it's not so good. Either way, everyone has to realize that no org can be everything to everyone. What does matter is that clubs need to realize that their members are their lifeblood and as long as it continues to work to a common goal, it's doing the basic job. Shouldn't this discussion be over in "Flying"?

You contributed to them and seem to want to prepetuate the issue. If you don't have something constructive to add, just don't add. This forum was set up to share information regarding the Ercoupe with others, not to show how much one can criticize someone for doing or not doing something or to show how much more one knows or to show their self importance. It doesn't matter how long someone has been a member. What matters is how much good info has been spread to all involved. If one has a gripe with a member it should be shared with that member. I sent my comment to all because you have been so verbose to everyone. Any further comments I have on this issue will be via private email to the person involved.
