[Roundtable] District Officer changes Part 2

[Peter J. Howard]

  8. Scott Muller is another who I stood up for with a desire to correct any
past differences or pending problems, as I would for any member in the
District. WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS CAPABLE OF not knowing all that we should,
while also capable of serving the youth. How many previous experienced,
knowledgeable district volunteers have we run off or "shoved to the rear"
with the "politics" of this council?

    9. Last possibility was it because of the large numbers of new youth and
units we signed up at roundups this year, or having a good working
commissioner staff, while yet short a few? How may members of the District
Committee Chairs are acting regularly? I believe the Commissioner staff has
been working without a Program Chair, Outdoor Chair, Activities Chair,
Membership Chair, Training Chair, all year! Sounds like having none inplace
to desent is preferred to any at all, who work hard?

       As the professional I would have imagined you to be one who may
consider consulting with me before any action or confirmation of such
"resignation" was tendered, often I suppose too much. Your second paragraph
is quite hard to follow, I'm not sure who said what, to whom? Lloyd said I
resigned to whom and when? This is from the person that Bob Frederick, Bill
Luc, yourself, and Jack all have claimed to me lies regularly,
"resignation-incomplete stories", anything make since here, can we connect
the dots?

    While you may want to replace me with someone else is not my current
argument, the manner to which you operate and others of whom you have
mentioned is absolutely appalling. It is not my place to determine the
burdens of others, "under my command," with those I work, or friends to
which I associate, it is however, my moral responsibility to be fair with
those I seek to have relationships, those I meet on the street, or worship
with. It is evident that this practice eludes the "Mobile Area Council
Executive" and others whom you may refer, including yourself.

    Many times your "so called burdens" are responsibilities, hobbies, civic
service, individuals seek to provide to others, what is your actual service
Bob?

     Bob Fredrick is it necessary to lie to me on 10-31 of "... being in the
mountains and having a hard time hearing my call..." when you were actually
in your office in Mobile (a mountain of what alright?).

    My burdens are those I choose to accept and are willing to concur, when
possible, others are for my mortal experience. I suppose this one is for my
mortal experience, and I know that I'll be the better for it, you guys, I am
not quite sure!

    You are right I will serve anyone in need of service. " Thanks again for
your continued time and support of the Scouting program... Respectfully and
in Scouting.....Bob."

    It is apparent that you are worried about the wrong-thing...don't worry
about me under the hands of the "power 4", worry about all the others like
me and those you'll treat like us in the future...that Alumni seems to be
growing like a plague and one day there will be no cure and the SCOUTS WE AS
VOLUNTEERS SEEKS TO SERVE will be left with none to carry on.


Truly Respectful to the Interest and Aims of Scouting-Distain for those who
seek to Tear down
Those who Support It!

Peter,

Thanks again for your continued time and support of the Scouting program.

Dear Peter,

Based on the recommendation of the Spanish Trail District nominating
committee and upon the recommendation of the Scout Executive, I will be
recommending to the Council Executive Board Paul Roberts' name for District
Commissioner of the Spanish Trail District.

I was informed by Bill Luc last week that he had been told by Lloyd Meyers,
Spanish Trail District's Scout Executive, that you had informed him, Lloyd
Meyers, that you resigned your position as Spanish Trail District
Commissioner.  After this conversation with Lloyd Meyers, he spoke with Bill
Luc, the Scout Executive and informed him of your decision to resign as the
District Commissioner, Spanish Trail District.

Based on the numerous e-mails, telephone conversations and personal
conversations, I have had with you and based on time constraints and
personal issues that you informed me about, I feel certain that this
situation has been one that others have considered and had concerns about
and have as I have thought that the position of District Commissioner was a
burden on both you and your family.  I have personnally been quite concerned
about these matters and think that this is a good opportunity for you to
spend more time with your family and to have less stress in your life.

Both I and the Mobile Area Council, Boy Scouts of America appreciate your
continued time and support to the Scouting program.

Respectfully and in Scouting,

/s/  Bob
