You are absolutely correct Larry. I remember everything exactly as you
have stated.
Facts are facts.

All,
Earlier today the new Profiles Editor, Laurie Basile, posted a rather
lengthy email.
For someone who just last week talked about being “positive”, “congenial”
and “professional”, I found today’s post to exhibit very little of those
qualities.
But what struck me the strongest was the following written by Laurie:
"You may recall how the DeRykes published in a Newsletter that Mike Drew
did not intend to run again as Editor of Profiles.”
Hmmmm? Is that true? Seems easy enough to research as I happen to have the
pertinent 2014 newsletters right here on my desk. Let’s see if I can find
where/when such a statement was placed in a newsletter, okay?
First mention of the election was in the August, 2014 newsletter on page
#12. Boilerplate text from the Bylaws which outlined the term and duties of
the officers up for election, followed by a solicitation for candidates.
Nothing more.
Next mention of the election was in the September, 2014 newsletter on page
#9. That page included the candidate statements from VP candidate Mike
Burnett and Treasurer candidate Bob Reid. Providing a candidate's statement is
required under the Bylaws, but no other statements were submitted nor had
any other members been nominated for any of the four open positions. The
only mention of the Annual Editor position in September's newsletter was:
Annual Editor -
Incumbent - Mike Drew, Pantera Club of Northern California (PCNC)
No candidates yet (and no Candidate Statements, either - a Bylaws
requirement.)
Next newsletter election mention was just the ballot included in the
November issue. At the time the ballot was sent to the printers, no one had
submitted a candidate statement for the Annual Editor position. So the ballot
included this -
ANNUAL EDITOR Incumbent chose not to run again
No new candidate
Write-in candidate ———————
Associate Vote ———————
I have personally spoken with my friend Mike Drew and he acknowledges he
failed to submit the required statement.
Thus Mike, in essence, "chose not to run again" by failing to submit his
candidate's statement.

I do not know who composed the election ballot (Election committee or the
newsletter Editor), but in either case there was not any mis-conduct by the
DeRykes, just a ballot that contained a truthful statement; and it was due
to a regrettable omission by Mike Drew.
Laurie’s statement seemed to imply the DeRykes had purposely lied about
Mike Drew’s actions. As outlined above, that is simply not true.
If you are a POCA member, you can confirm all this by viewing the cited
