It is a sad day when drastic action must be taken on an issue that casted a shadow over our great hobby. Our ethics rules are simple and easy to follow!

May we hear from those who lambasted the Board for "withholding" information about the brass core investigation and referring to them as incompetent and "good 'ole boys"? I believe when we find that our assessment of people and their performance is wrong we owe those people an apology. In my opinion, the Investigating Officer and the Board have left no stone unturned in this investigation. I am pleased that the report was written in an easy-to-follow format--it left no doubts in my mind. I am also pleased to see that the investigation is ongoing. Hopefully all players will be identified and appropriate actions taken.
