Disagreement

[tmuccino@xxxxxxxx]

I wasn't really going to get involved in the controversy between Bernie
Zalasny and Richard but I would like to chime in with a couple of things.

I was a long time member of AROC.  I was the co-founder of the Long
Island Chapter and it's president for it's first three years of
existence. I co-chaired the committee for the 1984 National Convention at
Pocono. I saw LIAROC grow into one of the largest and most active
chapters in AROC.  I have also been a subscriber and occasional
contributor to the Alfa Digest since it spun off from the Italian Car
Digest.

I have not renewed my membership for over ten years because I felt that
the club had lost it's sense of purpose and gotten too expensive for what
it delivered in return. The fact is that I remain in contact with a large
number of ardent Alfisti and am meeting more every month through the
Digest.  In short, the Digest is what AROC used to be. And I suspect that
the BOD may be a little concerned that the Digest may be making AROC
increasingly irrelevant.

I applaud Richard for his selfless efforts to preserve the "Spirit of
Alfa Romeo" that once was the hallmark of AROC.
