It isn't going to be "BTW" without you and Lady being part of it. Alex needs to do whatever it takes to get you back into YOUR organization.. I never once thought of any financial woes or distraught members because of finances. I just always thought that as the founders and CEO of BTW, that you would be paid a salary, and I figured you would get a stipend for retirement from BTW. Makes sense to me, but of course I sometimes think differently..
AMEN hotred,Jim, I said before as for me you are still a friend and will always be, I just hope everone and you to Jim that we can ALL put this all behind us and go forward as it was ment to be from the very start. (with you and lady with us) For me it just wont be the same without you. your friend GENE ( rockstar)
Jim, I for one would hope we don't have to make a choice between you and BTW. We need to put the past behind us and as I have said before, we don't need Arizona to have our own circle of friends. A lot of things were said that keeps bringing up past problems. Lets just bury it and be proud of what you and Lady have done. We had a whole room full of people that never would have met each other had it not been for YOUR BTW and I think I can say WE ALL love you guys for that.
"We need to put the past behind us and move forward" I could almost hear Alex speaking those words out of Sheri's mouth. This from a man that has spent the last 18 months doing nothing but trying to discredit people who gave 30 years of their life to making BTW what it is today or was up until yesterday. Friends, family and brotherhood has always been what BTW stood for. To me Alex knows nothing of any of those things. I have been lied to, lied about and belittled not only by Alex but by his puppets on the Board of Directors. When is he going to start putting the past behind him and moving BTW forward? His only defense for his failures seems to be the "hole" Lady and I left him in. Even if we had left him in a "hole", which we didn't, he has had 18 months to dig himself out of it and apparently still hasn't done so. In the past 18 months he has not only discredited Lady and I, he has drove us completely out of BTW. Quite and accomplishment but now that it is done, let's "put it all behind us". Of course, Lady and Jim will no longer be around. Guess he was too busy finding new ways to make us look bad, so he would look better, to take care of the business of running BTW and taking it forward. He has used the forum on the BTW web site to make accusations against us, even going so far as using another person's name to do it, then deleted my replies to the questions and, to add insult to injury, used my lack of a response to ban me from the forum.
Lady and I were really looking forward to the meeting yesterday where we could be around "friends" that knew the truth about us, who had been to our home, and knew we weren't the evil behind the problems BTW is having. It was quite a surprise for us to find that Alex had managed to drive a wedge between us and the people who had always been our strongest supporters, even our closest neighbors. They had to choose between having us for friends or being part of BTW. Well, I guess we know now where their loyalties lie. I just hope you guys are all happy with your new BTW. It isn't what we started, it isn't what we ever intended for BTW to be, and I, for one, refuse to be a part of it and if that also means not being part of any of the Missouri chapters, so be it. Perhaps the next time your trike needs work or you need some advice, or a helping hand, you can go to Alex for it. Good luck with that one.
