Aloha Jeff,
As someone who has attended many meetings and observed your service on the HPP Board, I can only say I feel that your resignation is a real loss for the community. You have been kind enough on several occasions to take the time and effort to personally explain some issues to me. You have also taken a sensible approach to what is the almost impossible task of equitably dealing with the very difficult paving situation. There are no easy answers, and I believe that the current Board is an improvement over most we have seen.
While only you can judge your tolerance for the sort of behavior shown by some persons in the HPPOA, I would just like to point out that such people are in all likelihood secretly happy about your resignation. There are elements there that do not want positive leadership, and I wish we could simply refuse to let them set the agenda. I don't know what is worse, the people who constantly complain but refuse to participate, or the people who choose to participate on a continually negative and destructive basis. I guess I don't have much use for either.
I will be at Wednesday's Board meeting, and I will miss you.
With regrets,
Jerry Carr, the guy in the Texas Longhorn cap.
