Paul-- No one is asking you to say anything about what was discussed in the meeting, Just the reason YOU made YOUR decision to accept Hunte as a member. Helen Miller Fisher Because Helen...what he said in the closed session is relevant to my decision. The easy out is there is nothing in the by-laws or membership requirements that could keep him from becoming a member. He is 18 and a member in good standing with AKC. We were not asked to vote on Hunte Corp but rather Hunte the man. What he offered in his presentation was an influence. I wish everyone could have seen it...but based on the majority opinion it would make NO difference at all. I have paid an incredibly high price for voting my conscience...the least you could do is wait until I know about the legalities before you cast the final stone. My wife Jennifer and our co-owner Lissa posted brags yesterday about a couple of our dogs. I did NOT. Yet I got several emails asking why if I could post brags...why couldn't I post a reason for voting yes? Folks...I didn't brag and I didn't post...period. I have addressed the subject with my committee and some of those who have asked. I have said the same to all...here is the basics and wait until I know about revealing information from a closed session and it will be posted. I feel like a piece of chum in the middle of a shark feeding frenzy and many have taken a big bite already.
