I was rather shocked to see that Hugh Fletcher former President of USRAC was chosen as a guest speaker at Cody. Whoever picked him must not have looked into his background with the company. Its right out there on the internet.

Pauline, Could you elaborate? I can’t seem to find much on Hugh Fletcher, other than when USRAC was formed.

Interesting reading. Does anyone know which commemorative rifle and lithograph were at the center of this case?

Believe me he wasn’t there long. Long enough to hurt employees moral and the company’s reputation especially during the time that they were trying to build one with the new name and all.
It was the Border Patrol commemorative.

Well now he was only trying to get his extra slice of the pie! Wink

Serves the man right. What I always find Odd about these type of people is that for the most part If they had simply paid there taxes they would of never gotten caught for the fraud for which they portrayed.

A recent update: Hugh Fletcher has advised me he will be unable to make the speaking engagement at Cody due to personal reasons. Hopefully, this puts the whole issue to rest. FYI

Let’s see if we can add 1+1 and see if it equals "personal reasons"
