California is its own kind of place

There continues to be conflict at Torrey Pines (Torrey Pines, CA, USA)

There is an on going conflict at Torrey Pines, near San Diego, California and one forum for that conflict is the vote for USHPA Regional Director.  Bob Kuczewski, founder of Torrey Hawks, is running against the incumbent, David Jebb, who has the hang gliding and paragliding concession at Torrey Pines.  But what is really funny (as in strange) is a guy who is also running "against" these two.  His name is Pete Michelmore.  Here is his "official" statement from his campaign for the Region 3 Director position:

I would like to endorse Dave Jebb as Regional Director for Region 3 again this year.

Dave has done an outstanding job for the members of region 3 over the years and I feel is the best candidate for the job.  I have known Dave for over 15 years now, and he is not only an exceptionally nice person, he is fair, and trustworthy.  His character is as flawless as his friendship to his fellow pilots.  Dave is truly a born leader and I'm proud to have him lead Region 3 as USHPA Director again this year.

Why exactly is this guy running?  More at the Oz Report forum on this.
