It is high gear at the Bar None. I’m doing more than ever and falling further behind. Lacking every known labor saving implement, learning from scratch and trial and error. Cobbling attempts to mimic my neighbor’s flourish. The promise of the Good Mother’s yield motivation enough to keep my efforts sincere if slightly askance. Duct tape and bailing wire, more than a myth.
For those that supported our trail run last weekend, thank you. Proceeds went directly to a wood burning stove (thanks for the sweet deal Mandy Sue!) and to a half of beef (thanks for the meaty deal Stacy!) Linda and I will keep warm and fed, and well loved.
The Source. The Horse’s Mouth. The Truth. Me.
The whispers are finally making it back to my ears. Why I can only get one or two of my former mates to support the events I put on. Why I haven’t had a Team Nebraska female run any of my races in over two years.
While I can’t stop others efforts “We need to meet”, I can set the record Perfectly Straight.
There are no grassy knolls. No smoking guns. Only vague scenarios blithely turned to insinuation and suggestion.
Anyone else tries to “Explain” things to you, shame on them and their agenda.
The Facts: I founded and headed up Team Nebraska from 2001-2012. It became a 501 not for profit in ~2006 or 2007. I was/am a visionary, not a businessman. “The Books” were always and exclusively tended by the club attorney. It was either with calculated malice or ineptness that certain documents were either not filed or mis-filed.
In 2011 a new club attorney was brought on board. Due to personal issues between our then club vice president (my Dear Sweet Linda), myself, and the former counsel. The new attorney and his wife (also an attorney) found anomalies in what should have been filed but had not. New attorney’s wife submits corrective documentation.
End of story? Should have been.
If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, they have their reasons I’m sure. If you are really interested you can do what I did in February. File a Freedom of Information document to see the books of the Nebraska Running Club, dba Team Nebraska. You’ll get the three most recent years, enough to educate beyond a single doubt. All not for profits are required to provide same, its always been that way and that easy.
But maybe not as easy as the sly whisper.
The Truth Will Set You Free.
But I do!
