Dear Hugh and Eleanor, This note is about my potential future involvement with our UNA-USA Chapter. I understand that according to our chapter's By-Laws there must be a new Secretary at the end of this calendar year. I also understnat that I may continue to serve on the Board of Directors, if there are mutually understandings about what my focus would be. As you and others have been aware, the major long-term foci in my life are revealed to careful readers of my essays that are available at essayz.com Due to a suggestion with an implicit invitation from a now-retired University- President, I have the past four years been working on making my web site essayz.com into a resource for appropriately qualified individuals to use in teaching courses and/or work-shops focusing upon "Mitigating-Our-Alienative-Conflicts"; with different people free to focus upon different particular Alienative-Conflicts of interest to them and/or their students - - - for whatever reasons may be important in their own lives. I suggest that following the completion of my service as Secretary of our Chapter of the UNA-USA, I could continue my above noted efforts; and weave into those efforts some "fine-tuning" of essayz.com - - - by adding to essayz.com web-pages with hyper-links relevant to forthcoming specific UNA-USA programs; and keeping the new web-pages afterwords - - - linking to relevant resources on the world wide web at large; including some on my web site where appropriate. Such web pages can designed to draw attention to our Northern Color web; as has been happening the past few years with our chapter website at essayz.com/unausa-noco/. Below is a histogram of the number of visits to web pages in essayz.com/unausa-noco/ during October 2008 through September 2009. I have been using www.web-stat.com to study visitors to my web site which includes essayz.com/unausa-noco/. Month Visits October 2008 9 ********* November 2008 19 ******************* December 2008 12 ************ January 2009 17 ***************** February 2009 19 ******************* March 2009 7 *******....... April 2009 5 *****..... MAY 2009 12 ************............ June 2009 8 ********........ July 2009 9 *********......... August 2009 14 **************.............. September 2009 18 ******************.................. Average Actual-Visits/Month = 13.3 +/- 5.0 Average with Virtuals/Month = 18.5 +/- 7.8 The extra "dots" = "periods" are suggestive of the visits which "might-have-occured" had there not been a world-wide economic-down-turn. Overall-Visits to my wole-web- site dropped suddenly to about half the previous rate of visits - - - as 2009 started. The above visits to our chapter's UNA-USA web-site have occured despite the fact that I have been unable to put in the time required to post our chapter's fine newsletters - - - due to my personal time constraits, declining energy, illnesses and extended "dialogues" with the IRS over their "suggestion" that I owed over $40,000 in unpaid 2007 federal taxes; when what I owed was about $7,000 due to some problems in my use of Turbo-Tax software. A gracious "Local Taxpayer Advocate at 303-603-4600" who reports NOT to the IRS; but directly to Congress, is now helping me straighten that out. It took one phone call to start that process, after about three rounds with the IRS where there was no meaningful dialogue about the particular central facts of the case on their part!
