More spill chick

Major Ronald Wendt is noted for his delightfully whacky sense of humor.  I was the beneficiary/victim on a number of occasions.

We served together on the Western Pennsylvania DHQ Staff in the mid-90s.  On one occasion, I wrote to all the DHQ Staff because I had seen some sloppiness in the correspondence being sent from DHQ as I reviewed the circulating reading folders.  Misspellings, poor grammar, missing words, and the like gave the recipient cause to mistrust the professionalism of DHQ.  Because it was not limited to one or two individuals, I felt it best to address a general memo to the entire staff.

This is the official response I received from Major Wendt:

MENORAMDUM

To:       Major Donald Hostetler, General Secretary

From: Major Ronald A. Wendt, Assistant Financial Secretary

Date:  March 21, 1994

Belief me, I could not ague width you more.  I toto am perplexed at the typos I see in various ream files that puss across my decks.

Thank you for ‘hitting the mail in the head’ by addressing a serious and most frustration issue.


p.S.  I used spill-check on this end it worked fine.
