Don: Are those letters that were written to you personally or copies of the open letters Rucks and Scott wrote to Federation members? I have been following this as I am sure many folks have and so far it looks like BASS is backing up on their initial deadlines etc....but they are still mandating that they have blacklisted the Division Reps from any and all BASS business to include membership. I have not been a Federation member for many years but if I were there would be no way I would keep my affiliation with BASS at the expense of those that I had asked to represent me. I believe the appropriate phrase here is: Leave no man behind
