Posted by Bob Spurlin. Edict #16
June 29, 1999
I know Colin is on LOA but he is still around on the weekends so I am going to impose on him in this edict. One of the things I wanted to do in this administration was to get the Articles of Organization ready for presentation to the club as a whole. The two authors of that document, while solid members of the club, though one (Mister Garfield) is totally annoying, have not brought the issue up in about 4 months or so.
Now I have several problems with the document in its current form, but there seems to be little interest in the document in general; therefore I am asking VP Wyers to form a committee to prepare a document of rules for the club for presentation. I would think said document could be ready for debate within 30 days from today, with the stipulation that, if passed it will go into effect on the first day of the new administration.
Colin and I discussed this a great deal during our campaign and I am sure he will provide a good base document for debate by the ENTIRE club. Colin, that was the sound of me handing you the ball on this issue-now run with it!!!
Also, I went to the doctor again today and he released me to have my first adult beverages in over two months this evening so that may have something to do with the next part of this edict.
While I find Larry Garfield completely annoying and in total anathema to this administration I must admit that in the year I have been here he has served the club with a ferocity that few can challenge. He and I rarely agree on positions and we have openly disagreed on many issues. Personal differences aside, I must admit, that he works hard for the club and therefore is an asset of some kind<G>.
Therefore effective immediately Larry Garfield is hereby promoted to the rank of Commodore.
Also effective immediately James Speck is promoted to the rank of Fleet Captain. James has more than proved himself as FComm of the 3rd fleet over the past months and is a solid member of the club.
And may God forgive me for the Garfield thing<G>
