I find it most interesting – but not really surprising - that Bill Oberdieck, the third candidate, has chosen to not accept the RCU invitation. The reason that I am not surprised to see Mr. Oberdieck decline the RCU invitation is that I was formerly a member of a club in his District (VII) before moving to a different state, and during the time that he has been a District VP he was known – at least by the club of which I was a member – as out of touch and arrogant toward individual clubs and their concerns and problems. He was never seen at our club or at our club’s two fields despite living in the area. The previous District VP was frequently seen at our fields, including flying there.
I haven’t yet decided for whom I will vote, but I know that I won’t vote for Mr. Oberdieck, and his lack of response to the RCU invitation should be quite telling to others as well.
When one gives the devil his due, one must at least allude to the fact that the Dist VII members have had ample opportunities to vote him out.
Now read his statement in the Oct. MA and you will find that Mr. Oberdieck takes issue with your statements. He says he has an open door 24/7 policy. He says he has served the membership with "....
intigrity and honesty.
Mr. Oberdieck promises to do considerable "encouraging" and "promoting" as he claims to have already been ".... instrumental in proposing..."
How can you deny all those ambiguous promises and claims?
