CFM, AKA ConspiracyFisherMan
I think you read way too much into my mention of another board having an open letter thread. It was a simple tongue-in-cheek comment regarding a thread entitled "An Open letter to Bob" regarding Olympic Sporting Goods here in Forks at WashingtonFlyFishing.Com ... nothing more, nothing less.
Mike B, sorry for any confusion, although I made some mention of the history of the auction for a few CC recipients that may not be as familiar with it as most Forks-area residents ... I didn't make it clear that the Auction is a two-day event.
It was a hard call because it does affect the seniors and not Mr. Fleck directly. However, the power trip that some of the local gov't officals (that really have zero first-hand knowledge of these fisheries) have been on has gone a little too far ... I'm sick and tired of hearing that EVERYONE in Forks feels this way or that way. It simply isn't true regardless of the propaganda that city officials are spewing out.
I just learned today that one individual in the community that has been heavily involved in volunteer efforts in this town has put an end to his involvment due to the Mayor's comments.
But I'd like to reiterate, that it simply isn't the city's stance ... it was the totally inappropriate situation to play politics. I'm surprised a little that this came from the person here in town that was so adamant about following proper procedure ...
