Hi folks,
I am so pleased to see the old spirit of TNGenWeb returning. An enormous
thanks to the people who cherish this spirit over fussing and fighting
about trivial issues.
I will be celebrating the gentle spirit in a concrete way in the near
future, when I step down as ASC. I have thought long and hard about this
decision and it must be.
It seems that I am no longer suited for role of ASC as it evolves into a
more political position. Lately I have allowed the political rhetoric to
rob me of my pleasure and enthusiasm for TNGenWeb and worse, rob me of
the energy that I need to work with my disabled students.
So, I have gone before the Board and asked that they create another
position for me....File Manager/FixieLady/QueryQueen...something like
that ... which will allow me to continue to do some good work, things I
love.
I had originally thought that this decision would cost me my board seat,
but in light of Dave's resignation and the fact that I received votes for
the board position in the last election, I have also asked the board to
allow me to fill the vacancy.
I will be RC for my beloved region and substitute RC for those who are
away, CC for Bledsoe and Rhea. I will continue to handle the extra
queries, the autobot, counters, search engine reports, bad list and
wheedle my son into making new and better toys for us. I will also
continue to work on some Special Projects and help any CC in need of
advice or trouble shooting for their pages.
I remain a loyal TNGenWeb supporter and a supporter of Fred and the Board
in general. My belief is that this decision will allow me to continue
stand with the majority of TNGenWeb hosts who are dedicated to doing good
work for our visitors while avoiding some tasks for which I am, by nature,
unsuited.
