Bill and Fern

[jpiesik@arinc.com]

    Stan and All,

    I have seen this resignation letter. It is very disturbing. I am new to
    the guild as of about 5 years ago. In my opinion, Fern Henry has been
    one of the most inspirational, competent, respected, and worthwhile
    leaders the PTG has ever had or will ever have. Bill Spurlock is a
    solid, steady provider of some of the most practical and useful
    information for us as technicians. These two people have provided more
    time and effort (for YOU and ME) than most of us could realize. I can't
    even begin to imagine what the problem could have been or why anyone
    would go out of their way, especially a "Professional" organization like
    the PTG, to defame their good names. Does anyone know what happened? If
    there is a way to rally behind Bill and Fern, count me in. "Something's
    rotten in Denmark!"

Dear fellow PTG members,

Buried in the rather dry reading of the recent PTJ Supplement Update
(included in the May issue of the Journal), is a letter of resignation by
Fern Henry, RPT of membership in PTG.  If you haven't already, I will
encourage each of you to read this letter, become familiar with the issues
and contact your RVP to voice your opposition to personal attacks on the
character of our volunteer leaders.

Both Fern Henry and Bill Spurlock have been tireless promoters of PTG and
I, personally, am not willing to have them disappear from the pages of the
Journal or the implementation of PTG's goals.  Let's throw the support of
the silent majority behind these dedicated individuals.  Perhaps words of
encouragement might be sent to Fern and Bill via email, snailmail or
voicemail.

Best regards to all,

Stan M. Kroeker, RPT
