I hereby resign my post as chairman of the Owasso
Economic Development Authority. In addition, I resign my
position as president -elect of the Owasso Chamber of Commerce
and my seat on the Board of Directors of that group.
Although this decision may appear to have been made with
great haste, it was not. A great deal of thought has gone
into it.
This decision should not be viewed as a reflection on
any of the individuals involved, especially Bob Bumgarner.
The OEDA and the Chamber are both fine groups and their
purposes are well served.
At this time, as a result of personal matters beyond my
control, I find it necessary to devote my time and energies
in another direction.
I have enjoyed my association with both groups. I wish
them well and know that they will be successful.
Respectfully,
;o h n R. Kastner CPA
