and AANR Naturist Clubs Ratings And Update On The Dismissal Of Bill Schroer.

For those that mightn't understand, Bill was recruited by AANR. It was during the previous management when Susan Weaver was president of AANR. He was fired October 15 by AANR's new president, Beverly Price.

His reply was as follows:

"I considered the occupation a privilege. I have been involved with nude diversion for many years and was really honored to be given such a wonderful chance. I 'd also like to say that I enjoyed working with the AANR staff who are a wonderful and committed group of people."

Ever since the news came out about AANR firing Bill Schroer, there continues to be endless speculation and chatter about what occurred. There also have been a lot of personal attacks and claims about Bill that simply did not seem to add up. So naturally, I was quite happy when Bill agreed to have a sit down with me and explain once and for all his outlook about what happened. In this post I will do my very best to explain the primary issues and correct any misconceptions that I've had the opportunity to verify predicated on my conversation with Bill, as well as other sources from within AANR (many of whom who were unwilling to be named or go on the record).

What exactly actually happened? Let us begin from the day Bill's contract with AANR was terminated.

Bill Schroer Goes On The Record About AANR

Beverly turned to Bill and merely said that AANR decided to terminate his employment contract - and that was that. Bill, quite shocked by her statement, did not put up a fight nor assert. He simply acknowledged it, collected his things, said goodbye to the staff and walked out.

Since Bill accepted what she said with no argument, I asked him to clarify why. Here is what he said:

It had not been until later I learned the board had not been informed. I may have responded differently had I known then what I know now."

Since, predicated on the AANR bylaws, just the board could terminate the ED's contract, I attempted to determine why Beverly acted on her own, clearly in violation of AANR's own rules. Since Bill had no information to provide, I had to search elsewhere to find the solution.

After some conversations with folks within / close to AANR, I started to get the feeling that Beverly, for whatever motive, just decided that she no longer needed him there. Nevertheless, the Board had a scheduled meeting only a month away. Why not wait and present her case to the board? I just could not comprehend the rush to actions, particularly since that activity was in clear violation of AANR's own bylaws?

One Trustee said (off the record) that they believed Beverly fired Bill early because she wouldn't have had the votes if she waited for the assembly.

* Bill, nevertheless refused to suppose.

This is an indication that about 30% failed to agree with her action and were brave enough to cast their vote in a way that reflected their true feelings.
