Seriously...I don't even know what Stauffer wrote in his letter. If he directly asked them to reconsider the hiring of Wrona and used Wrona's name then it's pretty unprofessional. If he wrote a letter asking to be considered for a job as a general inquiry...then it's much to do about nothing. But without the actual letter...who knows?

I think Wrona does a great job calling races and would guess the Fairs would be more than happy to keep him on.

You do realize the actual letter is part of the public record in the link posted in the initial thread, right? bwahaha

I clicked on the link: http://www.sonomacountyfair.com/docs/febrace.pdf

I don't see any letter, so my only point was did he call Wrona out or was he inquiring about a job. One is classless, the other...who cares? Instead of the bwahaha...maybe you can import those smileys rolling on the ground you love so much.

I thought we applauded someone for aggressively pursuing their craft and career providing it does not entail hurting or falsely attacking their competitor?

maybe I'm blind... but I didn't see the name Michael Wrona once in Vic's letter. Please someone point it out if I am wrong.

I don't see anything wrong with the letter Vic wrote.. except for the grammar. It looked more like a goofy email than a professional letter.

I dont think Vic did much wrong, especially being in THIS BUSINESS. Its cut throat, almost every aspect of it. If Vic thinks he can do better, he should go for it. I thought what he wrote was fine, and he never bashed Wrona.

No, he just requested they "reconsider" the hiring of Wrona, implying he knew he was already set to be the announcer.

I wonder how Vic reacted when Collmus took his job AFTER he was fired, one he didn't even interview for before the firing. I have a pretty good idea actually, which makes it hard to believe he would do this to another announcer already in place.

I dont know Vic, so I dont know. I know in the past the few times I had contact with him he was very nice to me, when he did not have to be.

I would say "Two Wronas don't make a right"

Sorry, had to.

What I would like to know is how the Sonoma County fair meeting minutes were discovered in the first place? Is this something one randomly stumbles upon while perusing the internet?

I'd like to know who is going to buy their $5.00 10 oz. beers this year. That seems excessive.

that's one thing that stuck out to me when I scrolled through the minutes. No thanks. I stick with the $2 beers at Tampa.
