What about the imagination to figure out ways to make the organization
bigger and better?
I had lots of ideas on how to improve the USCF when I was on the
board. Unfortunately, my ideas were effectively vetoed by Joel
Channing who openly stated that he would vote against anything that I
was for, and Bill Goichberg who only likes his own ideas, not anybody
else's, and Randy Hough, who always votes the same way Bill Goichberg
does even when he realizes that Goichberg is wrong.
With three votes always against me, I could not get anything passed.
Too bad Tanner had to leave. He might have broken some of the ties in
my favor. For example, Tanner voted with me on my first motion to
reinstate Fischer. However, when it came time for my second Fischer
motion, Tanner was no longer on the board and without his vote my
motion failed.
