October 4, 1974

 

 

 

Mr. Richard G. Kieninger

 

 

Dear Friend:

 

As you have so aptly stated many times in the past, “We are today the product of our thoughts and actions of yesterday.” It is extremely unfortunate that your manifestations of today are incongruous with the Stelle community and indeed detrimental to its integrity. The aforementioned conclusions have been drawn after much personal deliberation, discussions with the Board of Trustees, review of statements you have made to certain Stelle Group members, and the all-night meeting of September 28-29 with the 12 representatives of the membership and the Trustees.

 

I most sincerely trust that you will find your Arcadia which will allow you to sort out your realities and come to terms with yourself. Again I find myself in the unenviable position of making directives on your person; understand if you can that I must follow those dictates of my conscience which tell me “this is for the greatest good.??

 

The following directives are hereby invoked, effective October 4, 1974, so long as they be for the greatest good of all concerned:

 

1.     The May 17, 1974 directive shall remain in effect with the sole exception that Tom Valentine shall be eliminated as a contact point for you.

 

2.     I accept your proposal to monitor The Stelle Group from outside of the State of Illinois, as you made it in the all-night meeting of September 28-29, 1974, and further agree to furnish to you the documents you requested on a monthly basis (i.e. meeting minutes, financial reports, etc.).

 

3.     I further request that you submit your resignation as Trustee of the Voting Trust with the stipulation that said Trusteeship be assigned to The Stelle Group Board of Trustees at large.

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

 

James E. Howery                                                            The following signatures signify intoto
