Agreed, however there have been postings here on this list (and elsewhere) that lend me to believe there is some personal growth needed before I could vote for a candidate such as CJ for the important position on the Steering Committee. The other nominees are just clearly much easier votes for me. Fixing computers does not always translate to many of the soft skills needed for a successful tenure on the VCF Steering Committee. I hope you would realize that. I'm only calling attention to this since CJ and the others put themselves out for public scrutiny. The nominees should all be aware of this, and nothing personal here (save for my opinion of course)... I want the best for VCF MidAtlantic (or is it MARCH???). -andy

I would like to interject and state that CJ has been working in the background on equipment in the warehouse, is a very consistent member showing up to a majority events and has been instrumental towards repairing many of our artifacts for years.
He is very knowledgeable on our systems and is fronting the repair of some of our earliest and rarest pieces such as a Tektronix M88k machine and an Apollo Domain workstation from the Grabbe collection.
CJ has prior personal and professional experience working for other museums and a fantastic attention to detail.
He has been a VCF Member for many years, has a great passion for our organization and our artifacts, and is just as deserving a voice and position on steering committee as any of the other candidates.
Thank you,
