Open Letter to the board 10-15-2013



Friends of Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Smith Township, Posey County, Indiana
From:  Douglas Gempel, Representative of Families of Interred /Deceased         October 15, 2013
            2500 Arbors Drive Apt 3
             Evansville, IN 47715-1879
             Res:  812-963-3413
            Cell:  812-604-9035

To Current Members of the Cemetery Board:
      Chris Lamar, President
      Alan Lamar, Treasurer

Gentlemen,

The deadline that was drawn in the sand is fast approaching and I need to know if either of you are going to take on the responsibility of doing what is right and proper.  I asked the President to call a meeting so that we could elect new board members for those who left and add two additional board members so we could proceed with the business of maintaining the cemetery. 

Since, at this juncture I have not seen progress in that regards I am going to assume that you did not believe me and understand that on November 1st, 2013 I am going to turn over all information and knowledge I have to the Posey County Prosecutors Office and let them figure this out.   I represent over 30 people from the Cheaney Family, The Seibert Family, The Wharton Family, The McDonald Family, The Kelley Family, and The Hogge Family who have asked me to forward everything to the prosecutor’s office.     

As of the 15th of October, the grass was to my waist at the front of the cemetery and this is not only irresponsible, it is downright disrespectful of all those who are interred there.  I told Mr. Chris Lamar and Mr. Alan Lamar that politics and personal family issues here are not important to me and out of respect for those who went before us; this group and I are going to make sure that this does not ever occur again in the history of this organization.  Petty arguments and stubbornness have no business in a charitable organization.

I still believe that both of you have something to offer the organization.  That is why I stepped back and gave 30 days before I acted on the motion that was given to me by the others.  I am sending this document to both of you as a final plea to do what is correct, ethical, and proper.

Sincerely,



Douglas R. Gempel, Family Representative.

  1. This letter was sent by me on OCT 16 to the current board members. I did not threaten any one I advised that I promise to deliver the knowledge of the issues surrounding this organization to the Posey County Government Entity that can investigate and resolve any disputes regarding the cemetery and its operation. Any questions can be directed to Doug Gempel or the board members.
