While I appreciate all the work that the new operators have put into Seminole Lake,

Until Seminole Lake is sold and the proceeds returned back to the people of Romania,
or at least placed into a trust whose distribution is determined by the
courts of
Romania, glider pilots of conscious should boycott it.

Susan, I respectfully disagree. We have no right, individually or
collectively, to decide who is a criminal and who isn't. We have courts
for that. We should respect the legal process (which takes time) and
allow it to sort things out.

Meanwhile, there is a world-class glider operation there which needs our
support to survive. Our sport has damn few of these places, and I would
hate to lose this one simply because a few folks decide on their own to
boycott it.

If we let Seminole Lake die on the vine, then some good folks lose their
jobs and that financial investment (Which some folks say belongs to the
people of Romania) will largely evaporate and be gone forever. If that
were to happen, both soaring and Romania would be losers.

Please, let's DISBAND THE LYNCH MOB and let the legal system work!

Respectfully
Vaughn
