Troll, sometimes when the final judgment is passed, there is a surprise as to just who does eat the words. Personally I am not yet making a judgment call on Huber's words.

Reference my post above on the subject: When the original Jetero RC Club, Inc. was losing its field, the *clique* knew of that losing a couple years prior to the mainstream Club Members knowing the fate of the Club as determined by the landowner Waste Management.

I had found out that the *clique* was preparing another field but keeping it on the quite. I ran for Club President and because Jetero was scheduled to lose the field by March 1, 1996, I was easily elected. The *clique* was just waiting for the field to close and all members to come and "Buy flying rights" (no club rights) at their new facility so they took a back seat and snickered away. Since the Club was incorporated, and I had been made the Corporate State Contact (the clique attorney was dissolving their interest in Jetero) I used that position, my elected status, and bylaws that the attorney had previously ram-rodded through, to get the members to elect to purchase land, retain the club's treasury, name and corporate status and build a new field.

To make a long story short, losing the field, breaking up a big club, the clique's arrogance and over-confidence, and my determination to save the original Jetero all molded together into providing a large, now 130 members, AMA Gold Leader Club, well provided for with assets, operating capital, and a deeded owner of real estate.

The other group still has their leased property within the flood plain, no facilities, just some flat mowed ground, frequently surrounded by corn and various equipment. I suppose they have what they want, and we have what we want yet continuing to build. In any case there isn't any snickering around that I can hear.


So for Tbone, never look at a disaster other than an opportunity to bounce back better. Sometimes one must take the Bull by its horns. If FH is harsh, then make him eat his words. Only Results count, not threats.


edited to add who in first sentence.
