I am somewhat concerned that although AERC has responded to each of you
individually regarding your thoughts, you have (a) not responded and (b)
persist in characterizing AERC as some sort of villain. We (that means
your National Office AND the entire Board) are here to hear you and to
respond to your concerns. If something is wrong, I don't think there's
a person on AERC's Board that would not say . . . I made a mistake,
let's fix it. AERC's Board members are people just like you who enjoy
the sport and are willing to dedicate an enormous amount of their
personal time to make things better for and to educate all of those who
enjoy the sport of endurance riding. If both of you feel so strongly
about the sport and the impact that AERC Board decisions have on you, I
would encourage you (and feel strongly that each and every Board member
would agree with me) that you volunteer your time as well and consider
running for a Board position at the next available election
(Directors-at-Large in 1998). You might get a far different perspective
of what your fellow AERC/Board members have to deal with on a day-to-day
business. It may well be a big picture/little picture perspective. Or
something entirely different. But I sense an anger in both of you that
needs to be dispelled . . . and dispelled for the good of all AERC
members. Perhaps we could take this private and get to the heart of
what's disturbing you. That way, we could resolve your problems and
hopefully, in the end, reach a solution that positively affects all of
AERC's membership.

I am not one to discourage dialogue, but I do believe that the
perspective of what AERC's Board is trying to do is becoming severely
skewed to the detriment of all who enjoy the sport.

I did not engage in the discussion about Trail Blazer magazine because I
felt that doing so would be entirely appropriate. I feel that way here
as well. Let's talk about your concerns within AERC and see what can be
done to resolve those concerns. Help AERC and your elected Board to
help you. Okay? Is that too much to ask?
