A year ago today ('2006) someone wanted to know if I was "OK".  Well, I said "Yes and No".  Wednesday is my seventy-second birthday.
    A little over year ago I was informed that nobody wanted to know what I wanted to say, and to effectively "shut-up". So, I did!
    That was likely correct!  Likely, I had said enough! Possibly enough!  Hopefully enough!

     America has a very big decision to make soon about this "slippery slope" that some of us still don't know we are on.  From some early form of education, probably from my parents (TC '25, TC '33),  I understand there is an organ between the ones we use to hear.  Some only use it as an audio spounge ....... squeeze it.  Even it if hurts.

     I will say it once again.  If you vote on the basis of being told how,  or on one or two your special interests or "beliefs" --- then please don't. Collectively, those that do are called "conservatives".  You don't have to be a "liberal",  just think! -- Ron

    Someone wanted to know if I was "OK".  Well, yes and no.  Tuesday is my seventy-first birthday.  I will be starting two classes at my newest interest here in Harrisburg, in Cabarrus county, North Carolina just north of Charlotte near the Lowe's Speedway.
    I guess I have just lost interest in this site as others have recently.  For many months the tone of the site had been on more about "national" concerns than Columbian news.  Seemed logical to me, I haven't lived in Tiffin for fifty-five years.  Seems a lot of the "mid-west" in this "mid-western boy" is still there ... it could be that the "mid-west" has changed.
    Since leaving Tiffin I've lived in 7 states ( CA, FL, IL, VA, NJ, MS and now NC ),  been in all 50 states except the two to which you can't drive (there's no reason to drive to ND),  been educated in 10 academic institutions and taught in 6 colleges,  have had 23 professional positions,  been a consultant to 14 firms, 38 years of computer experience, etc.
    I appear to be getting dummer and dummer each day at home and elsewhere, but there is one thing I know to be the truth .... this government is not my kind of government,  and the only solution I can see is to throw the "bums" out ..... and the only way that can happen is to start at all of our "hometowns" in America.
    And, finally, if you vote on the basis of being told how,  or  on one or two special interests or "beliefs" --- then please don't.  Collectively, those that do are called "conservatives".  You don't have to be a "liberal",  just think!

BTW - If you want this to be your site, y'all are going to have to make it so.

The fact that many classes have had no TC-Online Class Representive to assist in the communication between the Class and the Webmaster , has caused some difficulties in the recent week.  The TCO Class Rep performs a Class-Webmaster interface function.  It is not a TCAA position; it is an individually accepted or class position.

TCAA does define a "TCAA Class Contact" in the Newsletter, who provides an interface between the TCAA Organization and each Class.  These contacts provide your class with a local Tiffin area phone number for communications, and many may not have an Internet access and an e-mail address, or wish to accept the Online Class Representative function.

In addition, the Board of Directors are actively seeking another Webmaster, and his or her interface with each class could be assisted with someone within each class to help with that transission.

There are functions that the TCAA staff need not have to perform for a class to compose a class page, help in the processing "Member Enrollment" forms, changes of addresses, etc.  It is not TCAA's responsibility to verify elements provided within the enrollment form.  Even as your current Webmaster, I can not verify the accuracy of some enrollee's requests for Class Membership. Thus, as your current webmaster, an

Online Class Rep for each class will be NEEDED soon.
