COHVA does some good work, and it seems to me that Val legitimately could have lost sight of her responsibilities to keepingin the loop one.
I'm gonna chew on this a while, but I'm likely to get with the heads at COHVCO and voice my disappointment.
You have got to be shitting me!!!
val made no effort what so ever to involve anyone from. No time to send a single PM? Get ****ing real!!!
She planely stated that she had "The Rock" in the back of her car for god knows how long and in all that time she couldn't send a PM to myself, Planefixer, or Yellaheep. She's a registered user onas well.
The Memorial was not her idea, and keeping the placement of said stone a secret shows a distinct lack of class and elevates her to Attention Whore Status like none other!
Contrary to what any of you may think, this isn't aboutor me getting our collective feelings hurt. This is about being left out in the cold after we as a group contacted, consoled, and wept with Anna, her boys, and her entire extended family. This was a deeeply personal matter for more than just a slect handfull.
We gave birth to the memorial idea and Val used it as her own little step stool so she could stand up and make people notice her and her good deed.
I was not wrong in any way shape or form. She damn well needed to be called out for her stunt....because thats all it was.
Feel free to ban me, but be sure to delete all of the posts I've ever made on this forum.
The handling of this event has seriously put in jeopardy any future support of your organization.
Seth was a member of our club and our members are the ones who came up with the idea, not to mention raised considerable funds towards it and have supported the family through their grief. Failure to notify of this was unacceptable and was a breach of the most basic common courtesy.

As I've stated to both Steve and Camp, this isn't about me or anyone else fromnot getting credit for anything....but the fact the Val decided not to share the information with anyone from
certainly does piss me off to no end.
Credit? Really?!?!
This is what it's really about.
Three people (No names needed here) spent a huge amount of time, some of there own funds, and more tears than you can imagine for a truely worthwhile cause, Seth and his family. Yes we posted pics, had a trail run, attended the funeral. It wasn't done for any sort of credit. It was done was done out of respect, honor, and love. No more, no less. A mass trailrun to mark the day the stone was laid was never on the agenda, quite the opposite actually. A small presence fromand the Stanton Family was the plan then.
Credit.
No, we simply wanted to be there....
To hug a mother
Talk to the younger brothers.
Weep.
And celebrate.
You hit it right on the head- this isn't about "credit" its about being there for a family.Too bad those guys on the other board couldn't figure that out and deleted our posts.I ,for one, didn't personally attack Val.My post was deleted because she's good friends with Steve and Camp and they saw their Princess Diva having negative (negative comments/questions and personal attacks are 2 different things) posts directed at her so they deleted them.
Val's comments regarding the burden of keeping the stone in her car simply highlight her calous Me Me Me attitude.
And Camp calls our classiness into question- what a joke.
I'd gladly carry that rock friends.
Yeah, I'm all about taking credit.
