I heard a different story. I won't mention the source, but Steve Kaluf was fired for doing something that the Executive Director, Jim Cherry, told him not to do and the assertion that, "all of the district VP's wanted Steve back immediately" isn't true. I had my runins with Steve as Nats event director and as the NSRCA VP coordinating the Nats with AMA on behalf of NSRCA and, while I liked him personally, I wasn't too thrilled with how he did his job.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Ron Van Putte</DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
