Anyone who wants to discuss the issues brought up in Wayne Coe’s e-mail (which you had been copied on), or would like to discuss these concerns further are welcome to contact me. I refuse to “Reply to All” since many may not care to invest their time in such pursuits. However, since I answered the e-mail, I will post it so that those of you that are interested can view it and know what was said – see those details below.
Again, I responded to Wayne without copying all those that he chose to, just in case there were some who did not want to suffer through reading pages upon pages of rebuttals. The comments I made are all my own opinions and I did not confer with the other AACB Board members regarding the comments before sending the e-mail - they are MY words and feelings. However, note that the details of the paid demonstrator program that were laid out and details of other AACB programs have been a collaborative effort involving a number of members (as always).
For those who are interested in what I had to say, I am having the contents of the pertinent e-mails posted to a “Blog” page which is being created on my own personal website – so that no one can confuse my personal statements and philosophy with AACB policy or philosophy.
My website address is: http://littledipperforge.com/presidentcomments.aspx
I have always had the best interest of the members and the organization at heart and will continue to act as I preach.
I hope to hear from some of you.
Whatever you do -
Keep Forging,
Mitch Latsch
