To the Editor:

I cannot tell a lie; Carl is my friend and I’m supporting him. I’m also asking everyone who reads this to support him. Carl will bring to the Region 1, VP job attributes which have profoundly impressed me.  He’s articulate, intelligent, thoughtful and has a great sense of humor -- but I’m not suggesting you date him, I’m asking you to vote for him. His passion for the Guild coupled with his vision for its survival and success are inspiring.  He’s not running against anyone or anything. He’s running because he believes he can make a difference and I share that belief. 

Carl’s message of inclusion goes far beyond the warm fuzzy feeling the word implies. Inclusion, he tells me, is the precursor for unity and unity is the precursor for a strong and successful Guild. He believes the current leadership of the Guild knows that and is working hard to make it happen. He believes he has something to contribute and wants a chance to try. Give him your support -- for your sake.
