General Pineda and USCAP

[vento]

...

All in all, I can think of a lot more notable personages I have met that I will remember more fondly than the erstwhile Generalissimo...Marina Sirtis of Star Trek: The Next Generation being foremost.

Hey, you found a picture of Troy NOT wearing her Corporate uniform! 
OTOH, for me it was Gates McFadden (Dr Crusher) at a ST convention. Sorry for derailing the thread.

Well ... I too have met the delectable Ms. Sirtis, and even had my picture taken with her.  (I'd post it here but the expression on my face is rather goofy...as yours might be if you were in the vicinity of such loveliness).  Met her at one of the old Magnum Opus Cons that were held in Columbus, Ga., back in the mid 80s.  At the same con I met Yvonne Craig ... Batgirl, that is.

What always amazed me about this sad chapter in our history was how this certain former national commander went on afterward to form the U.S. Ranger Corps and give himself a third star. Not sure if that group even exists any more.

It is still shown as an active corporation on the Florida Division of Corporations web page.

The original web site appears to be gone from the web.

Looks like some time in the last year or so it went dead and got snapped up by another company
which itself is not offline.  Internet Archive still has a snapshot from May 2013.

You can still find some hits on it from your favourite search engine (I use Bing), but that's about it.

I Just wonder how could such a bad thing happen in CAP. I mean "Fat Tony" is still proclaiming his innocence, but he couldnt receive what he dished out. But I Digress....

His situation should have been addressed before he ever got his first eagle, but as I've whined about a lot lately,
when the leadership feels compelled or at least empowered to look the other way when things which are obviously an issue
are brought to their attention, people move from empowered to emboldened.  In those situations, "good actors" tend
to flourish, and "bad actors" can get themselves hip deep in trouble before anyone takes action (or even notice).

Hindsight is also 20/20, but with that said his tenure are a "leader" both at the Wing and Region level
was tinged with complaints and questionable decisions for years before he ascended to a star.

Wish i still had my digital copy of "Broken Propeller". Pretty much outlined this guy's transgressions.

We need to nominate as founder of NOTF, too.
