Recent posts regarding advertising in the ABC registry have shown emotion.
Over the years I have been to a number of functions that were very touching
with, heart, feeling, pride, passion, and excitement. Some of the moments in
our profession have been very touching and heartfelt.

Of late the consolidation has brought forth emotion about our three
organizations. The Academy and the pride of belonging. The long history and
tradition of AOPA, of late the concern for the creditability for ABC.

Would it be asking to much to have someone come forward and speak with
feeling and passion about the heart and soul of the new organization that has
been proposed. When the formation of the Academy was proposed it was about
pride and belonging.

We have been hearing the hard facts, the bottom line, about the united voice
of one organization but not much has been said about the heart and soul. Will
one of the supporters of consolidation please come forward and speak with
passion in favor of consolidation.

Much importance is placed in the Mission Statement of organizations what is
the Mission Statement of the new organization. If I have missed it I
apologize for my oversight.

It is with pride I tell someone that I am a member of the American Academy
of Orthotists and Prosthetists. What emotion will I attach to this new
organization?

Respectively,

Al Pike, CP
