OY history

So Out Youth is in a crisis or disruptive transition or whatever you want to call it. Short story, they dismissed founder and longtime pillar of the organization, Lisa Rogers. I'm not worrying about the reasons for it, but about how people are reacting. It reminds me of what happened in 2005-6, when a new ED was hired and then both staff quit. As we all caught on to what was so rotten they'd quit over it, basically everyone basically rebelled against the leadership.

I don't know exactly what's happening at OY now. But Morgan's been blogging some about it at her blog, A Trip to the "Morg." It stirred up my memories, and I started telling stories about 2005-6. But now that I'm talking about that stuff, I'm not sure when I'll be able to stop. And I don't to treat Morgan's blog like my memoirs. (See my previous post, "On sharing space...")

So I'll be writing my stories here instead, in the blog I created last week, which now appears to have been wonderful timing. Here are the first two stories, copied from her comment threads. Any more will be separate posts.
