OCTOBER 1983
PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE Keith Elston. President
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. I lost my mind while I was writing my
message last month.
Anger is one of the most powerful of human emotions and, yes, I was angry when I
wrote the message. My anger had the unfortunate effect of clouding the intended issue
which was perfectly clear in my mind. I had apparently shot the gun without taking
very careful aim. I am reminded of a minister I had when I was growing up. He would
give powerful sermons designed to shake up the complacent members of the congregation
and invariably one of the very people he was speaking to would say, "Nice sermon. I
certainly hope those people got the message.” Obviously not. Those who were innocent
of any of the things that he had spoken of were also those who felt that the sermon
was directed at them.
My last letter needs some clarification.
I was shooting for those who constantly degrade GSO with thoughtless statements,
unfounded rumors and gossip and those who prefer to gripe behind the scenes rather
than bring their complaints and criticisms to a meeting. This is most surely because
they could not or would not present the things they have said at the general meeting if
they had to support their statements with logical reasoning or hard evidence. It is for
those people that I have no sympathy. Unfortunately, the message confused those
people with closeted persons.
There are many individuals who are and prefer to remain closeted for personal reasons.
However, many of them do help G80 and give their support as far as circumstance will
allow. I extend a sincere thanks for everything you have done. There are some who
cannot do anything for the organization but are interested in its welfare. GSO
appreciates them and wants them to know GSO is here when or if needed.
To all who were unintentional victims of my anger, I humbly apologize and ask for your
understanding. ‘
This incident HAS served a purpose, however. I have reevaluated the purpose for
having a Presidential Message. The President of GSO should reflect the thoughts,
ideas, and decisions of the entire organization. With that in mind, I cannot responsibly
present my personal opinions on issues in the name of GSO. Therefore, the Presidential
Message will become a breif statement of notable happenings. Also, other pages will '
contain space for editorials from guest writers and letters to the editor. Letters and
editorials will be edited for space, grammar, etc., and must be accompanied by the
writers name and address. Initials will be used if so desired. This must be requested in
writing and submitted along with the letter or editorial.
GSO hopes these changes will bring about a greater volume of participation. and a.
broader sense of responsibility within the community.
