Was Tom Acklin a past ATA President

His name is not listed as a past ATA President, or was he an Ohio OSTA President?

I did a Past ATA Presidents search and he was not listed, I thought he was President During the ATA being Moved to Sparta Debachle

He is indeed a past ATA President.

Couldn't find his gun huh, maybe his widow sold it.

I wonder if the ATA issued a 1099 form for the gun. Or they should have filed a claim with their insurance Co. for theft.
I heard he was invested in land around the Indiana location he was touting for the Grand to move to. Roger C.

 

Tom Acklin was President of the ATA during 2002, and John Norris was the Executive Director.

 

I thought Phil Wright was president in 2002?

 

According to these minutes, Phil was in 2002

were summarily disposed of prior to commencement of the Meeting Agenda.

 

I went to the ATA website and asked for the list of past ATA Presidents, they posted years and Past Presidents, and Tom Acklin was not listed. Funny ain't it?

Maybe it was an honest mistake. Like the pull 2112 error. I wonder if either will ever be corrected? Roger C.

 

Tom Acklin was the ATA president in 2003.

 

I don't remember what year it was but Tom Acklin cried on my shoulder after the BOD meeting when the group from Indiana
walker out of the BOD meeting after they gave him the letter stating they were no longer interested in the ATA moving to Indiana.

Ron, I heard he owned a lot of land at the Indiana site. This could be checked out at the county court house in the county that was in the running for the grounds. Roger C.

 

Robb,
You are correct, I read the date wrong. Tom Acklin was President in 2003. The picture is not so clear, as the pin is still in the unopened plastic bag.

 

I just went bacl 30 Years of past ATA Presidents and the ATA still does not have a correct/ or Corrected Past Presidents List
showing Tom Acklin as a past President, or even died, What the Hell

GB................................DLS

 

Yes, have a picture of Wright giving me a trophy.

 

No better evidence than that. Glad to see you are still in the game after that event 16 years ago.

 

Oh yea, still banging away.

 

Doc,
He slipped thru the same crack as pull 2012.
