StarDreamers.us Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Why does this thing keep coming back up? Does the same person keep posting it? It appears that this location has become a bad experience for some and a wonderful one for others. It maybe confusing. Safe Travels!

skp51443 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Looks like a second post like this one: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=116628 That topic got locked but the admins decided not to hide it. There is a pdf linked into that one that isn't here. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

Dog Folks Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Is James Gray still the Project Leader there? For anyone who is considering a visit to this facility, you might want to drop me a note and I'll be happy to share our experiences there with you. Yes Kirk, James Gray is still there, as we have discussed previously. I have an opposite opinion of Mr. Gray than Kirk does. If anyone wants to drop me a note I will be glad to share my experiences there. Camping Rig: 2005 Dodge 3500 - Dually- Cummins 2006 Outback 27 RSDS Two rescue dogs: A Catahoula mix & a Chihuahua mix.

Wolf Creek NFH Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Unfortunately, it seems my original post was not well received by some on this site. I find that disappointing and a bit surprising. As the Volunteer Coordinator for Wolf Creek, I feel our post are unwelcomed on this site and will not be using it in the future to continue promoting the great volunteer program we have. Thankfully, we typically do not have a problem filling our volunteer positions, mostly from word of mouth from past volunteers and other great venues used to recruit volunteers. We do occasionally recruit/post our volunteer opportunity to keep our name out there and to keep our information current. Almost every volunteer who leaves here makes the comment they were treated like family, feel like their services were needed and appreciated, and were treated as a staff member. These are comments they make during the going away luncheon we have for every volunteer as they depart. We provide each volunteer a certificate of appreciation, hour pins, and a parting gift. For the last 8 years, we have utilized Workampers/RVers. Since that time we have received over 65,000 hours from 200 different volunteers. In addition to this we have logged over 12,000 hours from 1,500 local volunteers for the wide array of public events we host. We have had volunteers come back as many as four times, others three and two times. As for Mr. Gray’s integrity and leadership, he has served in a leadership role for over 20 years and a year ago was named a Regional Program Supervisor, not only supervising Wolf Creek, but two facilities in Arkansas, two in Tennessee and one in Georgia. He has also served as President/Chairman on several local boards and organization in the community, which probably wouldn't have happened if he were the awful person portrayed by some on this forum. All I can ask, is if you have an interest in Wolf Creek please give me a call or email and I will be more than happy to answer any questions, concerns or misconceptions you may have. I will not discuss them here, but you are more than welcome to contact me at 270-343-3797 or Moria_Painter@fws.gov Visit the hatchery website at http://www.fws.gov/wolfcreek Become a fan of Wolf Creek NFH on Facebook! - https://www.facebook.com/WolfCreekNFH Moria Painter Environmental Education/Outreach Specialist Volunteer Coordinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mptjelgin Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Moria- I hope that you will reconsider your decision to stop posting on this site. As full-time RV volunteers my wife and I appreciate seeing posts like yours as we investigate future volunteer opportunities. Please don't let the actions of a few interfere with getting your message out to the hundreds or thousands of potential volunteers who are on this site.

Cyberdave Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Anyone that's been on here a while knows about the 'horrible' experience Kirk had... But where are the other complaints? We're talking an incident that occurred years ago. Are we to assume that everyone else will have the same bad experience? Unfortunately, Kirk is like a dog with a bone on this place... Don't leave you provide a valuable service.. Perhaps a call or email to Travis Carr would help get this pissing contest stopped.
