Bill you called me before the contest to try to get Marie and me to enter the club contest with our hand drawn entry for the club coin. I told you that Marie was no longer a member and you tried to offer her free membership for one year if she re-joined the club, she declined, so you asked if she would submit a drawing in my name because of her ability as a commercial artist, again she declined. The next question by you was, "I understand that you submitted a letter to Ralph Fajardo about the $200 Treasure Island Siren Strike that was donated to the Silver Strikers?" I responded, "Yes I did," and you stated that you could not find it in the files and you said, "That Ralph destroyed most of the files when he left office!" and could I send you the exact same letter that I sent to Ralph, so I did. Bill you said, "That you needed this letter because the CC>CC was claiming that the TI's $200 belonged to them and not to the Silver Strikers Club!" At that same time we talked on the phone for approximately one and a half hours with my wife right next to me as we talked listening to our conversation! You stated to me that you were a Silver Striker first and also belonged to the CC>CC and this is why you needed this letter to reclaim the $200 Siren for our Silver Strikers Club. Now, I see that the story has changed again, this time by you. I can understand why the chippers would react the way they did about this, but YOU as the PRESIDENT of the SILVER STRIKERS CLUB!!! Are we jumping fences in the middle of the stream? Why did you even bother to call me and lie to me on the phone about this entire situation, don't forget you were the one who stated to me that you needed that letter to put it in the file to protect the interests of the Silver Strikers Club. Another thing that you stated to me was that Dan Hangariff went to Colorado to pick up the old style Silver Strike Machine that was donated and would not turn it over to the CC>CC for the museum until he got paid for his expenses for the trip and you said, "That his expenses were paid to him by the Silver Strikers Club and not by the CC>CC!" I asked you if the Strike Machine was to be given to the CC>CC, why did our club pay his expenses and your response to me was, "This was the only way we could get the machine from him!" So in other words then the machine rightfully belongs to the Silver Strikers because we paid his expenses to go get it, RIGHT??? Bill look, I only have 28 days to go and my membership is over, but I hope that this post opens the eyes to ALL of the MEMBERS in the Silver Strikers Club who don't have any idea what is really going on in the background! If you are not part of the click and/or a puppet on string for either club you will be ridiculed, condemned and called a liar or a troublemaker. So the bottom line is, why did you even bother calling me to get the information if you as our President weren't going to use it in behalf of the Silver Strikers Club? Lets see how long this post stays on the BB, but other slanderous ones that are nasty and heartless do stay! We want to know where are the morals and ethics in these clubs, but I guess it depends on who you are!
