Carl's race for the Atlantic Division Directorship should be interesting

I was a tad surprised to see his candidacy announced, based on his
somewhat negative casting of ARRL in the past. As, when I was ARRL
Dakota Division Vice Director, and he sent this request to me..... "Now
why don't you do us all a favor and take your lying, stagnated, ARRL
apologist ass out of here ..."

Perhaps a leopard can change his spots.

There's a distinct possibility that Carl is a new person. We'll find
out through the passage of the time leading up to the election. All it
would take to sink his boat would be a single "Howard Dean Moment" in
responding to a hot button issue.

I was referred to as a jackbooted thug, a Nazi and worse by him in the
past. We were all treated to "beeper", "jumping through hoops", "hazing
ritual", "electronic paintball wars" and the like. I have to admit
though, that Carl's response to my recent posting of a few of his past
quotes was quite diplomatic in tone. I understand that Carl is actively
campaigning by visiting Atlantic Division clubs. If the leopard hasn't
changed his spots, it would be nearly impossible for him to keep up a
false front under, what is certain to be, intense questioning from some.

The membership of the Atlantic Division will have a chance to learn
about the views of the three candidates and that they'll make the best
choice from the information available to them.
