Anyone remember the exploits of a gentleman who was in IEEE and
was known to cause all sorts of mischief to members of the board,
etc. by making threats to them and so forth? I remember looking
forward to my monthly issue of The Institute to see what he had
be up to the month before. Sorry, the name escapes me right now,
as I haven't seen it for about six months or so. Anyone know
what he is up to these days, or did he just "quietly" go away?

You must be referring to Irwin Feerst, occasional candidate for
President.
We haven't heard from him in a while. He may still be putting out his
newsletter however.

Hey Bill, what ever happened to the CD_ROM drive?
I understand that you have a new PACE chair too. Get him on line if you
can.

chairs who don;t submit their annual reports and financial
statements on time :-)
OR,
maybe he was just a message from GOD reminding us to be open-minded
and professional :-)
anyway, who knows, maybe some big LA movie maker will buy the
film rights and we'll see the story all over again. the problem is
who would they get for the lead role?

I remember > > looking >You may have Irwin Feerst in mind. Feerst is a perennial candidate for IEEE office. His 'mischief' consists of believing that the IEEE should work for the benefit of individual members, in the areas of salaries, pensions, recognition, and others, as opposed to the establishment view that the IEEE should serve the corporate world and work for the benefit of large employers. A dangerous man indeed, one who should be surpressed and not allowed a public voice. Can you say 'job security?' Robert Kinne "Everything is unlikely, my dear."
