too many typing at once. deleting to quote instead

Jason Holdaway

I do, but it's yet to be told. Haven't seen him around lately......

Three sides to every tale, and we have not heard from Reid, Jones, Lebel and the others, maybe if we listen to the Mulroney tapes close enough we can find out the true story.

Seems like the thread on the can is petered out too.

You can read Ken Jones' account in his book The History of MAAC.

This is the second time I've heard of this book. I did a quick google search and located references to this book in various collections but .... how do I get a copy for my own reading?

I would like to buy a copy of the book also!

It took a bit of archeology on my old Mac, but I finally found Ken. He moved back from BC to Ontario, to Mooretown in the SW Zone, right near the western border with the States. The email address I have for him is [email protected]

Jim_McIntyre

Thanks for the archaeological work!

Email sent.

[link]http://www.rccanada.ca/bb/viewtopic.php?t=18603&start=390[/link].............27 pages and counting, and the thread on the can has gone full circle from accountability and reporting on the 2005 maac organizers to accountability and reporting on maac's part to the usual personal attacks on marc sharpe and claiming for the banning of individuals off the can.

thanks to the can, this may be maac's finest hour! The PR value this has created for maac and the nats is priceless.

britbrat

Actually, the unholy mess on the Can & the ensuing revelations give me a high level of comfort that MAAC is really getting its act together. The MAAC Exec & BOD are clearly acting in a manner that demonstrates absolute propriety. The probs lie outside the overall MAAC leadership & are confined to difficulties within a single zone. Whatever the outcome of Nats 2006, those zone-related problems will likely be rectified in due course.

MAAC could ultimately be a much better organization, in the eyes of the members, as a result of this painfull experience. Thanks to the lessons obviously learned in 2002, & the currently very proper handling of the Nats 2006 controversy, the general membership should be much more comfortable with the organization. I certainly am.

Jim_McIntyre

Even Marc himself will admit he asks for it. part of his strategy.

And that's the saddest part.
It really ticks me off that some gloat about this mess.... all seemingly in the interest of defaming a couple individuals ... at the cost of MAAC and the hobby. [:@]

britbrat

I agree with you about the cheesy public gloating, but I am quite sure that MAAC will be unhurt & the hobby will be utterly unaffected by this.

I don't think I've every "asked" for it. I do admit I don't mind it because when a few start talking stupid and name calling............... it silently proclaims:

".......and the winner is!"

Somethings don't change, a couple of years ago, you would have read this on the can. [link=http://www.rccanada.ca/bb/viewtopic.php?p=38148&sid=c8eeae01941725f355a5dbdf9b054c76]from the can[/link]

ronnieo1

only a twit like you would keep stuff like that Ken....what are you saving up for..a scrapbook? Or you and Sharpo sit around a campfire and read them in the summer.

Jason Holdaway

Only a bigger twit would say something like that in the first place. Wayne is a great guy, and was a great president.

britbrat

Uh --- guys, the Can is for crap -- this site is for discussion.

Jason Holdaway

Sorry pa..... [] I'll try to do better in the future.

Jim_McIntyre

Sigh.....

DSLarkin

Sorry. I haven't been in contact with Ken for a couple of years or so. It looks like the MAAC office is our only hope, as 411 didn't find him. Of course Chuck Smith should have a listing, or Gerry Shaw if he kept a list of phone numbers.

gingertoad

SUCCESS.

I have found Ken Jones, the author of "The History of MAAC" (It covers the time up to the year 2000)

With Ken's permission, here is the contact information:

Ken can still supply copies of the book.
