The Don Holthaus Ordeal
With other facts

To the right  is an e-mail I received from this this  friend  Don Holthaus  who was coming to Seneca before  he visited the last time  Don wanted to donate some of his collection to the NCHS. He had donated items before and he  wanted to know if I had the equipment to load his photos and family records -

DarlAnn states in her News Letter "Mister Holthaus offers the  financial bonus to the Nemaha County  Historical Society to sell photos from the files at 35 cents." See e-Mail Side link

Later I visited with Don  and found out  DarlAnn Rile had come to where he was staying  and picked up the same files and he had  a story about a law suit.  He said she had warned him of a lawsuit. He said we ought to get this settled. I told him this was story they were telling to discredit me.  Dean is to have  alleged that  I threatened him with a law suit as  I had talked to Dean about the so called "Executive Board" and the many decision they make. I was being asked to take part in some of these decisions and I did not like leaving the board out  of these decisions.  
I asked Dean  to go the County Attorney with me and discuss this with  the County Attorney about the many decisions made by the "Executive Board".  Dean was telling me  that this amounted to a threat to him.  Discovering the truth  is not  a threat. If discovering the truth is a threat  that person is  on the wrong side of the law.

When Dean and DarlAnn discovered that I was collecting Computer Snapshots of files in the computer and told him I was keeping  records of what was being done at  that time, he said he  considered this a threat also.

The fact that the Special Meeting to vote me off the board was a sever shock.  The fact that they voted me out without giving me a chance to defend myself was even worse.  No one could believe this could happen to me.

It was not  until I started going through my large of file of the NCHS and my e-mail that I came to full understanding what this was about.  I have a  large file  of e-mail with most of all the e-mail I received and sent in connection with the NCHS.     All e-mail on the NCHS at the Museum computer were not kept,  but deleted. I did not like this and tried to get this changed with no luck.  Is this why the "Executive Board" removed the Hard Drive?  

Large companies never delete an e-mail. I would bet that Pastime Software has every email they have ever received.

Operating with the board in the dark led to this disaster. Nemaha County Historical Society should have all e-mail on file that pertains to the organization and printed for all members to read. .
