Dear Robert,
Short story
Larry has persistently pointed out the violation of the club bylaws in a
straight forward manner
Michael Shortt does not care for this
MS last night issued a statement that makes several disparaging remarks
about Larry and brings up an allegation that Larry has been instrumental
in insulting the "Southern Pride" barely formed POCA chapter.
Further disparaging comments continued from MS on this bogus allegation
Typical confusion and puzzlement resulted
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
