Fred Hauseman

[JTH]

This post was not put on the board to bash Fred or anyone in the organization. He is just trying to get back in or get some answers. Frank , himself told me to put this on here for him. Because he will not be around a computer for awhile and did not want this to get blowed out of proportion!

Wow, I got the lifetime sentence for exsposing cheating that was going on in PP. the guy was removed from his position but yet I was never reinstated.

There have been several people in this organization get banned multiple times and are back in this organization for things much worse than what Frank did. Basically he got banned for stating his opinion on a PUBLIC forum. He didn't break any rules that I'm aware of, he simply brought some issues he had to the table that he thought was wrong and hurting the organization that he thought needed to be addressed(which I agree with). I know Frank rubs some people the wrong way and can get under some people's skin, but you never have to worry where he stands on something, he always speaks his mind and I like that. Frank is a houndsmen and I consider him a good friend, I hope there's some way he can get reinstated, he loves to compete and knows how to have fun at the hunts. I miss seeing him around and I know a lot of other people do too.....just my two cents. Denver

Your right holeshot. And I want to make it clear I love little pack and have no problems with anybody in the organization or how they run it. I just hope that this life time ban can be moved towards a strict probation or something like that. I feel Frank did say a little to much but not enough for a lifetime banned. Frank Miller is a proud man and for him to reach out to the organization speaks volumes on how bad he misses this sport and the organization. What's the worst that can happen if you let him back in. If he acts up, throw him back out, say I told you so and be done with him. AND to whom ever else posts, please remember we are all dog crazy individuals that are not to much different from one another. Dont attack the organization or Frank.

Frank Miller is a part of our ARHA family. Families should take care of their own, and help them when they need it. A mistake was made and Frank paid a very high price for it. I think it is time to welcome him back. His passion for hounds and our sport is second to no one. We all know Frank can be the most aggravating, opinionated guy in the world. But he also is a great friend and a dedicated beagler who really wants the best for the sport we all care so much about. ARHA and all of beagling need people like Frank.

I have made some mistakes in my life and my wife, my parents, my brothers, my friends, my teachers, my bosses, and many fellow members of ARHA have helped me. People have extended kindness throughout my life, and that's the way it should be for all of us. I would sure like to see ARHA open its arms and treat this member of our ARHA family with kindness and understanding.

jcm, very well said and presented. ARHA does have some outstanding individuals and i do think frank's heart is in the right place, with his focus for the improvement of the organization. times are always changing and organization's need to change with them. you know as well as i there's alway's more than one way to skin a rabbit. seem's like some of the hardest working and knowledgable people are always getting ban in arha. whats up with that?

[Bobby Vest]

I think Frank should be able to run his his hounds in ARHA. I know there are people that have done things worse than he did and they are still running.

i don't mean to be nosy and pry into other peoples business but what exactly did frank do or say to get everyone's panties up in a bunch?

[bodetis]

i hear good things about trials, but also hear alot of negative, guess this is what some mean when they say the politics in trialing!

[cris axtell/coal hill ken]

I miss the club at Cumberland and the Miggs schoolhouse. it was my favorite place to go. Frank and the club put on some of the best big five and state hunts I've ever been to. A lot of good memories.

I agree Chris, not only did we lose a great houndsman. We also lost one of the best arha LP clubs in the country.
Frank is a great attribute to any organization. He brings passion, honesty, and dedication to the breed.

Not to mention.... he can wear a pair of chaps like nobodys business!!!!

[mike crabtree]

I wont ever forget the hunt when we thought he had maybe had a heart attack judging in a reed pond. Ole Frank had that silly megaphone with him calling out checks and just dissapeared in in the pond. We couldnt get Frank to answer us. I knew we should hear him yelling on that megaphone. Turns out he stepped in water over his head got wet killed the megaphone and got lost in the reeds. It was funny afterward. I almost always enjoyed Frank. Like everyone stated before he does have a passion for the sport srcond to none. I sure hope somehow he can be reinstated. Lots of us have made mistakes,.

At the bottom of most ARHA forms is the Bible verse John 3:16. Lets start living by it instead of just having it there to read. Im pretty sure the way the bible reads Frank can still go to Heaven if he repents his sins. The ARHA should be no different.

[Chuck Prather]

Alot of good posts here! I do miss the Cumberland club also. Not taking away from any other clubs but it was my favorite! Mr Crabtree has a good post on the bible verse on paperwork. The bible also has alot to say about forgiveness! And I agree with Mr Crabtree! Lets have some sincere apologies and get Cumberland OH back on the schedule. Thanks again.

[adirondackjoe]

again i ask, with all due respect what did frank do? does anyone even know?
