Not Blind:
D.O. Joseph Howard - this guy was a jackass and everybody knew it! He loved to humiliate the participants on the TMS at the circuit assembly. He was firmly ANTI-COLLEGE and made sure you knew it.
I don't disagree that Howard often gives this impression when speaking from the platform, however, we've known him very well for years and he is anything but a jackass or anti-college. He is also himself an extremely smart man. He has only himself to blame, though, for the fact that some see him negatively; he does spout mightily the party rhetoric from the mic and has the unfortunate tendency to try to amuse/entertain the audience too often at the expense of some poor TMS student. He and wife have been in the traveling work for many years and have seen and are aware of much that is despicable in the organization and are very distressed at a lot of what they see and know is going on. But they are old and in poor health now and probably find themselves in the same position as so many others who have mortgaged their everything to Brooklyn.
