   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 President                                                                  agreement
  with the statements in this letter: The Stelle Group                                                                                            Gail
  A. Kieninger Stelle Industries, Inc.                                                                                       David
