[Jeannie Grassi]

Clyde,
Even if it were true, we are not allowed to advertise as such.

Gary,

I am currently a PTG chapter president.  Does that make me a president of
the
PTG?  I would consider that misrepresentation.

I can't imagine a former President (of the whole organization) not
maintaining
his membership in PTG until his dying day.  Maybe the ad is not technically
false, but I'm quite certain it will give the false impression.  No one
should
resort to that.  Too bad.

Regards, Clyde
